"The Cardinals have tweaked their standing offer for the outfielder, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. While the newspaper reported the Cardinals' proposal is worth around $16 million a season, the team is hoping to sweeten the deal with a longer-term contract. The guaranteed years could be for as many as eight seasons, according to the newspaper. While Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak would not go into detail about what was said, he did tell the Post-Dispatch that the renewed talks with agent Scott Boras were a good sign.
"He's still a player we like very much and hope to retain," Mozeliak said (ESPN).
I think Holliday will stay in St. Louis. The market for him is drying up a bit. The Sox seem to be out after signing Lackey and Cameron yesterday. The Mets seemed focused on Bay, and the Angels have said they have other priorities. The only other team I can see really jumping in here would be Seattle, but I don't know how much they have left to spend after the moves they have made...
