According to ESPN.com's Buster Olney, agent Scott Boras has been doubling back to prospective buyers for Holliday, but it left fielder's most recent club, the Cardinals, remains the most logical fit. The Orioles surfaced recently as a possible destination for Holliday. Last Wednesday, multiple online reports indicated that the Cardinals made an offer to Holliday which was over $100 million and almost approached eight years and $140 million.
Holliday batted .353 with 13 home runs in the final 63 games of the 2009 regular season after being traded from the Athletics. His situation is almost the same as that of Mark Teixeira, when the first baseman was coming off a similar performance for the Angels. But the Yankees lands him for eight years and $180 million.
