Lohse signs 4 year deal with Cards

"The Cardinals announced Monday that they have agreed to a new four-year contract with right-hander Kyle Lohse, who would have been eligible for free agency after the World Series ends. The deal, which lasts through the 2012 season, includes complete no-trade protection and is worth a reported $41 million."

So, I guess the Yanks won't get lucky with this 30 year old in the offseason. I hate to say it, but it looks like Sabathia is the Yank's best offseason option. They will have trouble getting him because big market NL teams will make large counter offers for him. Sabathia has excelled as a hitter and seems like a better fit for the NL.
