The St. Louis Cardinals are doing a bit of bargain bin hunting lately. On Wednesday, the Cardinals and Ryan Franklin agreed to a one-year deal for $1 million.
In what has become the off-season of over paying MLB players, this deal seems a bit awkward. Surely Franklin is worth a few bucks more than $1 million.
On Wednesday, Mark Mulder, signed a $13 million two-year deal to stay with the St. Louis Cardinals. He’s also got some incentives in the deal should he perform well.
It’s a little bit of a gamble for the Cardinals, but the deal could end up paying sweet dividends should Mulder stay healthy.
