If it's a tossup, I would always sign players away from our biggest threats. St. Louis, Dodgers, Nationals, Brewers... You fill a hole and guarantee one in the other team. I'm sure that's what the Cards were thinking with Fowler, although I doubt we would have resigned him. We did it to them with Lackey. Sure that can backfire, but since the free agent system was created, it's what the top teams do to each other. That's why I would pursue Rosenthal before the Cards sign him to a minor league deal. Word here is that the Cards are in on Santana, JD Martinez, a trade for Stanton, and Arrieta and Davis. They will go hard for Davis. If nothing else, they want us to go higher to try to keep him.
