Re: Five arbitration-eligible players will remain with the Cards
Will the team and Freese reach an agreement this week or will they go in front of an arbitrator? |

Re: Five arbitration-eligible players will remain with the Cards
Of course, we don't know what will be decided and when. However, I looked back at the last time the Cards went down to the wire in arbitration. "Can Freese learn from the Cardinals' 2009 arbitration cases?" |

RE: Five arbitration-eligible players will remain with the Cards
For those who are still upset about Motte getting $7 million in his final pre-free agent year in 2014, consider this. The Giants' Sergio Romo, who has less than a half-season of closing experience, just settled for $9 million for his final pre-free agent year here in 2013.

No, Romo got $9 million for two years, $3.5 in 2013 and $5.5 in 2014. |

Oops. Thanks for the correction. That makes a heck of a lot more sense.

Freese and the Cards have agreed to a one-year deal, avoiding arbitration, first reported by Derrick Goold on Twitter. Money not yet available, but I will add it to the linked article when disclosed.

Official announcement due this afternoon, says a short Goold article on P-D site. Amount expected to be more than $3MM, which implies that they may have indeed split the difference between the $2.4MM the team was offering and the $3.75MM Freese's agent submitted (an exact split would be $3.075MM). |

Well, it wasn't exactly a risky estimation. When was the last time a deal like this was settled below midpoint? ;-)

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports the deal is $3.15 million.

IF Craig posts another excellent season will there be a desire by the Cards to try and lock down his salary by buying out his arbitration years?

Only they know, but Craig staying healthy as well as productive would seem important. There is also a bit more risk in doing it with all three arb years. Still, they did it with Pujols, Wainwright, Molina and Garcia, to name four. The first three worked great, but the last one is hitting those health issues...

Craig, of course, has had health issues of his own, but OTOH he did play in 119 of the Cards' 140 games after he came off the season-opening DL on May 1 (Cards' game #23 of the season). I think he'll be fine. And he is, after all, MLB Network's 6th-best first baseman in the game right now.  |

Re: Five arbitration-eligible players will remain with the Cards
When the Padres announced yesterday that they came to terms with pitcher Clayton Richard on a one-year contract, it was the last arbitration-eligible player to settle with his club. 2013 is the first year ever that not one case in MLB went to salary arbitration. The system for the three-to-six year players seems to be working as designed, encouraging the two sides to compromise.
