Sources: A's, Cards talking Holliday
Buster Olney
The St. Louis Cardinals and Oakland Athletics have been talking about
a possible swap of All-Star outfielder Matt Holliday and top prospect
Brett Wallace, according to sources, and one person familiar with the
talks places the odds of a deal at 50-50.
Holliday, 29, is eligible for free agency after this season, and has
had a lackluster season overall with the Athletics, hitting .287 with
11 homers and 54 RBI.
But he has hit well this month, batting .344 with a .421 on-base
percentage, and one scout who has seen him play said Tuesday that
Holliday is swinging the bat as well now as he has all year. The
Cardinals have been searching for a way to upgrade their offense, to
build some lineup protection for first baseman Albert Pujols.
Earlier this season, St. Louis had indicated to other teams that it
did not have a lot of money to spend, but it's possible that the
Cardinals' front office could navigate that issue by getting approval
from ownership, or by having Oakland kick in some money to offset the
money still owed to Holliday, which is about $6 million.
Oakland acquired Holliday in a trade with Colorado last fall, in the
hope that he would be the anchor to the Athletics' offense. But
Holliday -- and the whole Oakland offense -- has struggled for much
of this year, and rival general managers have wondered if the shift in
baseball's economics might compel the Athletics to move Holliday.
Holliday is earning $13.5 million in salary this season, and in order
for Oakland to recoup draft picks, it would have to offer him arbitration.
Holliday could be in line for an award of $16 million, something that might
be more difficult for the small-market Athletics to absorb. The Yankees,
after all, declined to offer Bobby Abreu arbitration last fall because they
feared that he might accept it.
If the Athletics kick money into a Holliday trade to offset his salary,
then they would be in better position to ask for a quality prospect.
Wallace, 22, is a former first-round pick who is hitting .292 in the
minors this year, with a .372 on-base percentage.
Oakland is stacked with young pitching, but has a need for infielders.
The Cardinals have known for many weeks that any trade for Holliday
would have to include Wallace.
