The Cardinals recently finalised contracts with all their young players. Mostly, the deals were unremarkable. The Cards did hand Jose Martinez an extension to keep him from being tempted by overseas offers, but other than that the contractual motions being gone through went basically as one might expect. Couple guys got a little extra, but not all. We are talking, after all, about players under the arbitration threshold; they have no real leverage, and anything extra they and their agents can extract from the team has to be considered a victory, if only a tiny one.
