NEW YORK (AP)—Outfielder Matt Holliday(notes) agreed to stay with the St. Louis Cardinals for a $120 million, seven-year contract that was Major League Baseball’s richest deal of the offseason on Tuesday.

The Cardinals announced they agreed with Holliday on a multiyear contract subject to a physical. The team said a formal announcement was likely by Thursday.

AP - Jan 5, 6:54 pm EST MLB Gallery Holliday’s agreement includes $119 million guaranteed over seven seasons plus a $17 million vesting option for 2017 with a $1 million buyout, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team didn’t reveal the length of the contract or financial details.

St. Louis acquired Holliday from Oakland in July and he helped lead the Cardinals to their first National League Central division title since 2006.

big move; was kind of worried about the Mets landing him.

LMFAO at this contract!! I dont know how Boras does it.  Holliday isnt worth anything close to this amount of money.  When Pujols is a free agent he should ask for a 7 year 400 million dollar contract after seeing this absurd deal lol
