Ohhhh Canada...

So the Cardinals lost out on free agent pitcher A.J. Burnett, who has reportedly agreed to sign with Toronto. Toronto is in Canada. They signed him for $55 million Canadian dollars. I'm no expert on exchange rates, but I think that makes his contract worth about $3.50 American. Wonder if he knows this?

---EDIT---

Yes, I realize the contract was tendered in American dollars, but, see, that wouldn't have worked for the joke, and, well, never mind... : )

I went to elementary school at Central and big bad Beckwith through the 6th grade. We moved to Festus the following summer (1986) and I've been where I am now for the past 5 years.

I remember Kevin mentioning your name and we have probably met, though I honestly can't remember when...must have been a L-O-O-O-N-G time ago.
