Press conference at 3 on MLB.com and FSMW. I think.

Why? Has a Boras a Boras client never taken a 1 year deal when he didn't get the deal Boras was seeking?
When it is in his best interests to do so, yes, but there is a line there somewhere where it doesn't make sense. Beltre had a [expletive] year last year and is going to play in a hitters park, Holliday did not. Holliday also didn't get nearly the money he was seeking initially (Tex $), so where's the line?
If Boras and Holliday said '$119m, a penny less and we're going to take a one-year deal and re-enter the market next year' and the Cards bought it, then I guess that's why Boras is the best at what he does.

The giddiness of the Holliday signing is two days old and going strong. One more day and it suprasses the giddiness of winning the World Series. There is something about the hope of the unknown that is more exciting that the celebration of the past.

Pretty sure there's a presser introducing Matt Holliday that should be coming on any minute now (3:00 PM).
Should be broadcasted on KTRS and probably others.

Thanks for the link, Cards. Watching it is better than just hearing it.

I wonder if they're going to hand him a jersey... since we've never seen him in a Cardinals jersey.
