Kevin Slaten of whom I am not a fan just "broke" the news based on a high up source within the Cardinals organization that the Cards offered 21 mil for 8 years for total offer of 168. This was stated as a fact. The source is stated as solid.
If true, imo this offer was plain stupid. I can only assume someone had passed out some window pane down there the day they put their tender together. It's so stupid I would almost have to say it was deliberate and a completely blown opportunity to actually try to sign the guy. It's as if the bean counters down there run marketing, sales and baseball operations.
Whatever their plans, whatever their strategy, whatever their capabilities these goofs better tag Dick the Bruiser and get him outta the ring and bring in some brains.
