As mentioned, the Cardinals are the lead horse to sign Oswalt and it appears it will be more than the original asking price of $8 million for one-year. Remember, that was the new, lowered price from the original price tag of $10 million. Reports now indicate that the former NLCS MVP is again asking for $10 million and the Cards are doing everything in their power to give it to him.
Over the weekend we learnt that St. Louis is shopping bullpen arm, Kyle McClellan who makes $2.5 million. The Cards original offer to Oswalt was for $7.5 million. Add the two up and bazinga, $10 million fresh ones for Oswalt.
The Texas Rangers are meeting with Oswalt and are said to be shopping Koji Uehara. But like the Cards, the Rangers currently have a solid and set five-man rotation.
