        Wow. The Angels are going to be ****** financially, and I'm not sure Pujols will make that much of a difference in terms of the AL West race. Pujols just became the Angels offense.

          Not a Bad move. Especially when he gets in his late 30's with the DH.

          Can't blame the Cardinals for not going that high, but GLAD he's out of the NL Central!

            Despite saying he wanted to be a Cardinal for life, Pujols shows his true colors that it's all about the money. The Cardinals made a respectable offer, and personally I'm glad they're not stuck with a 10 year contract for him.

              Holy Mother....
              That's a lot of cake.

              I'm sorry.....I know he's a great player but that's an asinine contract for a player of his age.

                  Serious question: Did the Cards deal include a full no-trade clause?

                  I hear that was the biggest thing Pujols wanted from any deal. Everyone was offering comparable money. The Marlins definitely didn't offer a full no-trade and Pujols immediately turned down their offer.

And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

                    Tigers sign Octavio Dotel, one year deal with an option for a second.

                      With the Cardinals, he had 10 and 5 rights so he automatically had a no trade clause.

                          No opt out. Full no trade clause. At least $250 million.

                          Edit: This is just like the Rangers signing of A Rod. Except A Rod was a young SS just entering his prime, and the Rangers had an opportunity to trade him.

                            Your Right, but A-Rod got the same money and if I had to pay either one it would be Albert each time.

                              I would have rather payed a young A-Rod over an older Pujols.

                                I'm no A-Rod fan...but it's easy to say that now.
                                At the time of that contract, A-Rod was the best player in the game offensively...and no slouch on defense...moved positions for the club....consistently hitting for average and HR's(a ton!....leading the league 4 out of the previous 5 or 6 years I believe).
                                I wonder if we'll be saying the same thing in 5 years about Albert and some other star player.
