Mulder Decision Imminent

According to story on CBS.Sportsline.com, Gregg Clifton, the agent for free
agent pitcher Mark Mulder, said yesterday that the lefthander will decide by
tomorrow or Thursday whether he will pitch this summer for St. Louis,
Cleveland, or Texas.

Sure sounds like a veiled message by Clifton to the Cardinals that they now
have a deadline by which to match the high offer made by the Rangers or
Indians.
