Giants Add Jeremy Affeldt; Cardinals Look At Options

As the market for lefthanded relievers revved up with the Giants' signing of Jeremy Affeldt on Monday, the Cardinals apparently have focused their courtship on two lefties to add to their bullpen while keeping tabs on other options.

There goes that idea. The Giants were able to sign Jeremy Affeldt to a pretty affordable deal too, locking him up for 2 years and $8m. It's hard to tell if that number is inflated or right in line with the rest of the market given the nation-wide economic crisis, but it's for the same per-year value that the Yankees handed Damaso Marte already. Not to say that the Yankees don't necessarily have a good read on what's reasonable or anything...
