One of the targets for the St. Louis Cardinals this off-season is reportedly Bryce Harper. This is understandable since Harper would seemly fill an offensive void for the team. His power and ability to drive in runs in the middle of the lineup is what many feel the Redbirds need to help reestablish themselves as World Series contenders.
Harper will be expensive for the Cardinals. Depending on who you read or talk to, the deal is likely to cost any team from $300-400 million for at least 10 years. Being just 26, this seems to be a reasonable estimate of the cost to retain Harper’s services.
