Matt Holliday has become the final free agent of 2016.

Holliday and the St. Louis Cardinals agreed to waive a provision in his contract that would have guaranteed his 2017 salary if he finishes among the top 10 in National League MVP voting.

The 36-year-old will not finish among the top 10 when voting is announced Nov. 17, so the move makes him a free agent one week earlier. He hit .246 with 20 homers and 62 RBIs in 110 games, missing substantial time after his left thumb was broken when he was hit by a pitch on Aug. 11.

Holliday still receives a $2 million buyout.
