had his contract renewed.

**— STL —**

It’s good to see that Flaherty and the Cardinals didn’t go to a hearing again, but
I still doubt the team would be able to sign him to a deal that buys out any free
agency.

It’s also worth noting that the team renewed Carlson’s contract; this means, he 
didn’t agree to terms as a pre-arbitration player. Flaherty didn’t agree to terms
at this point in his career too. I don’t think we should read into it yet, but it’s
worth watching next years.

The amounts: Flaherty – $5M; Gallegos – $TBD; Hicks – $938k; Hudson – $1.05M; Reyes–
$TBD.

All arbitration numbers have been added to both the [Salary Matrix](https://www.nyrdcast.com/2021/10/2021-22-cardinal-off-season-salary-matrix/)
and the [Transaction Tracker](https://www.nyrdcast.com/2021/11/the-2021-22-cardinals-transaction-page/)
for the Cardinals.
