Cardinals Pursuing Matt Holliday
MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com —
... The Cardinals are "redoubling efforts to acquire" Matt Holliday, according to Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Strauss says the Cards have warmed to the idea of offering a multiplayer package to acquire him. They were previously reluctant to send a Ryan Ludwick-fronted package to Colorado in November. Strauss believes that the Cardinals would now probably be willing to offer Ludwick, one of Jason Motte, Chris Perez, and Kyle McClellan, and a prospect to Holliday's ...

The transaction news is flying left and right in this corner of Cardinal Nation. First, we hear that Troy Glaus could be traded. Next, the (confirmed) signing of Wagner Mateo. Thirdly, the juicy rumor involving the Cardinals and Matt Holliday. The Cardinals have agreed in principle to sign their 16-year-old Dominican prize to a $3.1 million bonus, the largest bonus ever given out by the Cardinals organization, exceeding the $3 million given out to J.D. Drew. It's this kind of international news that gets me giddy, as I believe using an ...

... themselves. As such, they have begun keeping tabs on A's slugger Matt Holliday should Oakland decide to move him before the trade deadline, a major league source told FanHouse's Jeff Fletcher. St. Louis is cautious because of the size of Holliday's paycheck -- $13.5 million this year -- and his sagging performance in his first season away from Coors Field, but the team is interested in getting perennial MVP candidate Albert Pujols some help in the middle of the order. Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch also reported that the team is stepping up ...
Update: Cards Intensify Pursuit of Holliday
Redbird Rants | A St. Louis Cardinals Blog —
... The St. Louis Post Dispatch reported today that the Cards are very interested in Holliday. John Mozeliak must have been reading this blog, because on yesterday’s entry I made a pitch for Holliday to be the player that the Redbirds land. I see a lot of skepticism around Redbird Nation, toting this as the next Mark Mulder. I disagree. If you haven’t, read over my post yesterday at Holliday’s situational stats this year. It is better and will be better than any option that we have now. If we can lock in a few extra years on his contract, this would be a ...

Viva El Birdos —
... Yesterday’s p-d brought us the news that the Cards are intensifying their pursuit of an OF -- particularly Matt Holliday b/c of their poor OF production to this point. While there’s little doubt that none of Ankiel, Duncan, or Ludwick have been particularly productive this season, the focus on a player such as Holliday, who is OF only, seems to imply a fundamental misunderstanding of the Cards’ offensive problems. Moreover, it also seems to imply that giving up more to get a "bigger name" – to provide "protection for Pujols" (as if there is such a thing) – ...
