Glad Fowler got his money. Don't want him to be a Cardinal, but had to assume that front office would go after guys that the Cubs had since the Cubs have been poaching them.
Sounds like the Cardinals have offered a 5 year/$75 million deal for Dex. Good for him!
yep. At that price/length of contract I'm perfectly fine watching him walk away. We couldn't have him on the books in year 5 with that high of a figure when he'll be well past his prime and the Cubs have giant payouts coming due for Bryant/Rizzo and the rest of the youngsters.
Yeah...Im not trying to trash Dex here at all, but I will be thrilled if the Cardinals lock him up for 5 years.
So what draft pick do we get since he signed elsewhere ??

I will miss Dex too, but wouldn't be surprised to see him regress. He was a perfect fit in Chicago, but he had so much help behind him.
Cards were picking at 19. Cubs will pick at the end of the compensatory round.Cards give up the No 12 pick in the 2017 draft.
Great point. Matheny is the opposite of Maddon when it comes to his approach to people. It's no secret the Cardinals clubhouse could use some lightening up.Both ends of the managerial scale there. Ouch.
Great fans, them Cards fans. Great fans indeed.
Card fans are getting their panties in a bunch because Fowler still has a picture of the Cubs as his twitter header.
Also saw one say that Fowler has no respect for St Louis for picking McGwire's number.
LOL
Feel bad for Dexter. Can you imagine going from Maddon to Matheny and the differences in coaching philosophies?
