The question rests entirely around Craig's foot. The Cardinals' team doctors have been incompetent across regimes. If they ****ed up the original treatment plan for his Lis Franc and he gets it sorted out this offseason, the Red Sox got a guy who is going to hit fifth for them for 4-5 years and be one of the better hitters in baseball for a fair price.
If Craig's foot is truly ****ed and he experiences other age-related decline, then it is a complete heist for dumping the salary alone.
