 More Cardinals NewsCardinals LinksThe White Sox have a $9.5 million option on Mark Buehrle for 2007, and that's also the last year of Freddy Garcia's contract. Javier Vazquez is signed through 2007 and Jon Garland through 2008. Hard-throwing Brandon McCarthy, the sixth starter, is waiting in the wings. General manager Ken Williams jokingly told Buehrle "that once we get to his free-agent year, I was just going to put a St. Louis Cardinals uniform in his locker and that would be the end of it. For the last five years, he's been talking about it. I don't know if we've got too much of a real shot, and that's OK." |
