Holliday received an offer from the Cards, who are looking from a response next week. I have no idea how much it is for or for how long, so if anyone has this info, I would love to know.
Bay has received several offers, including the Sox and Mets. Apparently the Sox offered him 4 years $60 mill approximately... apparently it wasn't good enough, so the Mets went ahead and added next to nothing to the deal... way to go Mets. I heard that the Mets deal was 4 years $62 mill... I don't get it.
just thought that these two are the most talked about FAs, so we might as well start a thread about them.

Bay said today that he was officially moving on from the Red Sox. Not looking good for the Cards resigning Holliday either

I lied. Now that the Red Sox spent their money on Lackey, it is looking better for the Cards resigning Holliday

This is what I got from a stl today.com The Red Sox beat writer for MLB.com just said on XM the Red Sox almost certain signing of Lackey means they are out of the Holliday sweepstakes, but likely in on DeRosa.
XM announcers said at this point that leaves the Cards as the only known team to be pushing hard for Holliday and they speculate Boras will now move quickly to get a deal done.

not good... not good at all... we need to sign Bay then. Hermida isn't going to cut it as our left fielder. oh yeah, currently our infield is...
1st base, Casy Kotchman 2nd base, Pedroia SS, Scuterro 3rd base, Youk...
not sure that infield is winning anything either.

Mark DeRosa seems to be on the decline in his career... never was a big fan of him to begin with, but what are your thoughts as a Cards fan about him

He had wrist surgery so I think he is worth 5-6 million for 3 years
