Cards should look into executing the option if Holliday will take a lower salary for 2018 (like 4-5 million).
He’s not worth quite 16 million more for 2017, but 8-10 he’s probably worth for each of the two years

Teams should make contracts based on performance..CC at $25 ? With the Yanks going younger? Ehh.. Not a good move.. But A-Rod and Tex will not be payroll any longer… That might help.. But FA class not as good as last year.

That option was agreed upon a long time ago

Arod is still on payroll till end of 2017 season.

Really? I thought by retiring it will not count on the payroll.. I know the agreement was for to “retire” and receive his full deal at the end 2017.. But if it’s like that.. Yanks better off on 2018 FA

Agreed. I think they’ll hold the fort next year (though say they are in “win now” mode) and then go big the following year.
the dodgers suck
Arod will still be on payroll

Is it not inconceivable that Sabathia could suffer a shoulder injury at some point in September & thus finish on the DL? Not saying it is likely or I want that to happen to him, but I wouldn’t say it’s impossible.

Unless he hurts his shoulder opening a jar of pickles how would he injure himself while on the disabled list for another unrelated injury that prevents him from pitching.

I thought that there was a $5 million buyout on CC’s contract? if so, I believe that is their best option.
