Will the Cards extend Lynn before arbitration?

[3Rfan]

He would likely break the record for first time arbitration eligible starting pitchers if they don't agree on a contract. I guess we'll see what price he throws at them when the time comes and what they counter with. I assume they will try to settle on an extension before it comes to that. Anyway they go about it he will get a very big raise for the upcoming season.

Hope you're right vb he has been an innings eater and has won a lot of games wearing the Bird's uniform. Seems like he has gotten past his early issues when something goes wrong behind him.

Before I read the article at the post I guessed he would get 20-25 M. seems like the price is fair.

Looks like a pretty fair deal for both sides. I'm glad they got it done.

I wouldn't have minded a fourth year option from the perspective of the Cards but I get why they accepted the three year deal

I see they also signed Tony Cruz to a one year deal after they finished up with L.L. No money details were given on the website.
