Yu Darvish, Jake Arrieta, J.D. Martinez, Eric Hosmer, and Lance Lynn are just some of the top free agents yet to sign a deal. One could argue as the season nears, their asking prices might drop. Would it then make sense for the St. Louis Cardinals to make an offer to the former Redbird?
Right now, it is predicted by MLB Trade Rumors Lynn will sign a four year deal worth $56 million, an annual average value of $14 million. Another site projects his market value at four years and approximately $68 million, an AAV of $17 million.
