Mo and Dewitt thought that was too much money. Now Turner is getting more than Harper. They may never buy another quality FA ever again. Or at least until Dewitt sr. dies and Mo is gone.

Star players cost money.

That's not a bad contract for a guy of Turners ability.

There is a series of events where the #stlcards trade for a catcher -- Oakland's Sean Murphy is atop their list, two sources confirm -- and find themselves then exploring free agents, possibly at shortstop. That is where any interest in Dansby Swanson has its roots, per source.

Dansby Swanson = Dexter Fowler 2.0.

Damn, the dude gets a second chance. Becomes a poster boy for recovering alcoholics. I guess addition never stops trying to take ahold of you.

Meh. We had nothing in CF. $17.5M seems steep, especially since he just got dropped from the Dodgers for a projected $18M, but he's still a good defensive CFer and Wrigley is small so his defensive worth will probably eat up all that money and whatever you get from the bat is a bonus.

So now they're likely done.

Can we check in at the Creve Coeur police station to get Dan's thoughts on the matter?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

I absolutely loathe this guy. Always dinged up, ground ball machine, mediocre defender, I have so little interest in having this guy around for 4 years that it defies meaningful articulation.

Ugh. Just so gross.

Sean Murphy was of big interest to the Cardinals, but was “too expensive” from what I’ve been told. https://t.co/GtOCojXxjH

Must resist... urge... to trade... prospects. Contreras will come cheaper? *sigh of relief*
