Well, just to let you know - you can't change your mind on releasing players.  I guess Scott Boras is looking for a huge payday for Holliday?  He'll be the biggest free agent this winter for sure.

Yup, definintely release those players, they will not be resigned.

And I was thinking that the Cardinals were gonna give Holliday a huge payday, but after that embarrassment in the playoffs, he might have just been a rental. :-S
