Kevin Goldstein added to his earlier opinion (said it was an outstanding trade for the As)
Look, it's a good deal for Cardinals too, flags fly forever, wouldn't you rather be STL in the standings? That's what it's really about.

i kind of want to start a 'will we re-sign Holliday?' poll, but that could be a buzzkill on a great Cardinals day.
