NY Doesn’t Intimidate Matt Holliday?
Ken Davidoff wrote about Matt Holliday and free agency this past Sunday and if you’re a Cardinals fan, things don’t look good. According to Davidoff, Holliday’s top two FA destinations are 1, the Yankees and 2, the Mets. While the Yankees, should they win the World Series, are unlikely to go after Holliday, the Mets are apparently considering moving in the fences to appease Matt, as his one concern is hitting in Citi Field, again, according to Mr. Davidoff and his source (cough, Boras).
The rumored contract to land Holliday is apparently 7 years, 17-20 million. YIKES.
I for one am always impressed with the Scott Boras machine and it’s publicity team. The world series isn’t over and he’s already driving up the price. Now this could be a ploy to drive up the price and make the Cardinals do something silly before big M hits free agency, but I doubt it, Boras will want everyone in on the fun when it’s time.
So good luck Matt, and should you leave, I’d make one more request of Citi Field, make sure they also adjust the lights…
