Cardinals, Furcal Agree To Two-Year Deal
By Zach Links [December 10, 2011 at 1:47pm CST]

The Cardinals and Rafael Furcal have reached agreement on two-year deal,
pending a physical, a source tells Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com (via Twitter).
Furcal's two-year deal will likely come in around $14MM, a source tells Jon
Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (via Twitter).

Furcal, 34, hit .255/.316/.418 with seven homers in 217 plate appearances
after being traded to St. Louis at the deadline last year. He was said to be
seeking a multi-year contract last month. Furcal recently underwent an
appendectomy but is expected to be ready for the start of Spring Training.

The signing shrinks the market for Jimmy Rollins even further and could
signal his return to the Phillies. The Cardinals were known to have interest
in the shortstop and had more money to spend after the departure of Albert
Pujols. However, the club wasn't willing to give Rollins the five-year deal
that he seeks.
