Fitzy, really how often has Nicole, Larry or I vetoed a trade.  In two + years we have maybe had a total of 5 vetoes.  Please before you put out information know who you are talking about.  We dont veto a trade unless it is totally one sided as in the Pujols deal last year.  WE have nothing against you so please dont bash us.

I totally spaced putting the contracts in to show how the deal works.  I will fix it.  Totally my fault.  I will try to have it posted tomorrow.  By the way the cash is for next year 2014 not 2013.

Nicole your not usually one for trash talk.

All players are sent through Pittsburg first to make the cash work. i.e. Holliday goes to Pittsburg then shipped to Miami...so on and so forth.  St. Louis is sending out over $70M in salary so they can send the cash to Pittsburg along with the player to help pay. Pittsburg would then be able to cover some more of the contract. That is how they can trade $16M.
Wow that has been alot of work..I think I have everyone included and going to the correct team.

The Cardinals organization had decided not to extend arbitration to the following players.

P-David Kopp
P-Adam Reifer
SS-Tyler Greene
P-Francisco Samuel
