Hummel: What is the most likely path for Jack Flaherty?

Here are the highlights from our weekly chat with Cardinals fans.

Q: What is the most likely path with Jack Flaherty? … After 2022, he likely will value himself at the $30 million annual range, which I question whether the Cardinals should go there, even if they could.

A: I do not see the Cardinals paying Flaherty $30 million a year. First, he has to show he is healthy before there is any talk of a long-term deal. Second, you have to see what the new rules for free agency will be and if he could be a free agent a year or so sooner than he might have been.
