The @Cardinals shouldn’t give Arrieta a lot of years, but you give him a lot of money. The Cardinals have a lot of cash. Have you looked at the starting staff? Do you not think Arrieta would help?

Arrieta turned down 4/110 from the Cubs. Boras is not going to let him sign for 3 years because he'll likely lose out on several million over the remainder of his career.
