Cardinals sign Dexter Fowler

[Farewell Friends]

Cal May knocks it out of the park. Excellent opening question.

[Fat Strat]

Fowler deal - 5 years, $82.5M. Full no trade.

Guess he did want to play here and stay here?

Breaking: Fowler put his arm around Matheny for the official picture.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[MrCrowesGarden]

Fowler deal - 5 years, $85M. Full no trade.

Guess he did want to play here and stay here?

I thought Rosenthal said 82.5 but it's nitpicking. I'm kinda surprised by 25 but I like it.

For those of us not watching, what was it?

[Fat Strat]

I'm assuming no opt outs or anything like that or Rosenthal would have mentioned it.

[salukifan2]

Well, we've already lost our pick so we shouldn't let that get in the way now. Go get turner.

[cardinalkarp]

Honestly, I think that's a pretty solid deal

nah, i don't see a no trade as a player wanting to STAY in a certain place...i see it as they want control on where they can be traded TO/in order to waive the clause.
