Cards, Ludwick Working To Avoid Arb
Ryan Ludwick is set to fly to Phoenix on Monday afternoon in preparation for his Tuesday arbitration hearing. But he is still hopeful, according to MLB.com's Matthew Leach, that a deal can be reached.
The Cardinals settled on a last minute agreement with fellow outfielder Rick Ankiel on Thursday. Ludwick is hoping for a similar push, but his gap is fairly large. He requested $4.25MM and the Cards made a $2.8MM bid back when arbitration figures were due.
"That's exactly why I came down," Ludwick said. "And that's why I say I'm optimistic. To see where they were and how his whole deal went down, I think that's what leads to optimism on my side. Thinking, hey, they got his done, so hopefully we can get mine done before I have to leave on Monday. It would be nice."
