Scott Boras: Matt Holliday Deal Up To Cardinals

It's as much a tradition at the Winter Meetings as agents milling around in the hotel lobby, the managers' luncheon and reporters complaining that nothing is going on. It's the Scott Boras Show, and it never fails to entertain.

Describing his client, free-agent outfielder Matt Holliday, as both an athletically gifted outfielder and “a complete player”, agent Scott Boras said the St. Louis Cardinals would, in effect, be keeping two players if they meet the market and re-sign the All-Star and former batting champ.

The market for free-agent outfielder Matt Holliday has been slow to develop beyond the stated interest from the St. Louis Cardinals, but that is partially because it has dovetailed with the interest for fellow left fielder Jason Bay. At least one team that could pursue Holliday has focused first on Bay, and there could be others besides the Boston Red Sox who want to see where Bay goes — and how much he goes for — before leaping into the mix for Holliday.

Painting their pursuit of his client, free-agent outfielder Matt Holliday, as a defining moment for the St. Louis Cardinals and their front office/ownership, agent Scott Boras said that any urgency to accelerate negotiations will likely have to come from the team.

The annual Scott Boras Winter Meetings circus on Wednesday afternoon provided the agent another chance to prove what his client Matt Holliday is worth.
