On July 24, 2009, the St. Louis Cardinals acquired outfielder Matt Holliday from the Oakland Athletics in exchange for Brett Wallace, Clayton Mortensen, and Shane Peterson. The Cardinals had been searching for a big bat to couple with Albert Pujols, and Holliday was the answer. The A’s agreed to pick up $1.5 million of the approximate $5.385 million left on his 2009 contract, leaving the Cardinals with $3.885 million to add to their 2009 payroll.
