Smoltz signs with St. Louis


John Smoltz has signed with the St. Louis Cardinals after a failed stint with the Red Sox where he went 2-5 with an ERA of 8.23 in just eight starts. The 42-year-old is scheduled to start on Sunday but could continue as either a starter or reliever with the team.

The Cards will pay a prorated $400,000 salary while Boston is still on the hook for $5.5 million.

The eight time All-Star and former Cy Young Award winner will be joined by former Braves teammates Mark DeRosa and Adam Wainwright.

Personally, I would have preferred him to retire, but if he feels he needs to give it one last go, at least he’s more decisive than Brett Favre.
