Cardinals not expected to pick up Matt Holliday's option

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday's $17 million option for 2017 is not expected to be picked up by the club, reports Jon Heyman of TodaysKnuckleball.com.

What It Means:

Heyman added that there won't be any renegotiated deal either. Holliday turns 37 in January and has struggled to a career-low .242 batting average (92-for-380) this season. He's been sidelined since August 11 with a fractured thumb.

Holliday will likely end his 2016 campaign with a .242/.318/.450 slash, .330 wOBA and .208 ISO across 424 plate appearances. He posted a career-low .768 OPS with 19 homers and 60 RBI's in 107 games this season.
