MLB.com's Thomas Harding on Holliday's 2-year deal

With Matt Holliday recently signing a 2-year $23M deal, I wanted to get MLB.com's Thomas Harding opinion on whether this was a step towards a long term deal.

Baseball-Rumors: With Matt Holliday signing a 2-year $23M deal on Thursday, is this a step in the right direction towards signing him to a long term deal?

Thomas Harding: I don't know if it's going to lead to a long-term deal, but it does get the issue off the table for the next two seasons, which is a plus. It gives the club one distraction fewer as it plays those two years, which is more important than anything at this point.
