ya i think hell stay now but it will be interesting. kind of like whats happening with d12 in the nba. list to looks at is:
cards
cubs
angels
dodgers (if they got sold) -ive been saying for a year there a sleeper in this deal
marlins- they say they want to spend some money, but no way can i see him going there
nats- theyve got the money to spend

Obviously the Cardinals want to sign him, but I don't think they are gonna go about it the right way. And it also seems that Pujols wants to stay. But he also wants to be the highest paid player in the game, something he definitely deserves. The Cardinals seem to think that the market is going to offer around what they previously offered, somewhere around 8 years and 190 million. It seems to me they want him to test the market so they can come back and say that they are giving him what he's worth. The problem with that is that someone is almost certainly gonna make a mind blowing offer like 10 years /250 million or even higher. They should offer 8/200 and get the deal done in the 5 day window before he hits the open market. The price can't go down, it can only go up if he talks to other teams. Who's to say the Yankees don't move Texiera to DH and offer him $275 million? At that point he walks because that would cripple any other team.
I'm 50/50 on this. I hope he stay but really have no idea what's gonna happen.

ya i actually think it would be a good fit. the group that is rumored to be making offers at the dodgers is stupid rich, so this would be a great way turn the tides, kind of like mccourt did by signing manny. what ever happens with the dodgers the new owner is going to have to buy the fans love after what mccourt has done. its also a good fit with the strong latin community that follows the dodgers. and it will all but guarantee that kemp and kershaw stay. i just hope this dumb fuck is forced to sell the team

Albert Pujols: Cashman: Yankees not interested in 1B Pujols
Albert Pujols - 1B - STL - Nov. 6 - 7:52 pm et
New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said on the Dan Patrick Show that the Yankees are not interested in free agent Albert Pujols.
"Despite him being fantastic, it's not an efficient way to allocate our resources," Cashman said. With Mark Teixeira entrenched at first base and Jesus Montero presumably the designated hitter of the future, New York really didn't have a place for Pujols anyway. "Offense is not an issue here," Cashman said. "Our priority this offseason is pitching." The apple of their eye seems to be Rangers pitcher C.J. Wilson. "I don't think it's a stretch to tell anyone he's the most attractive candidate," Cashman said. Nov. 6 - 7:52 pm et

Can you bet he is going to have the fattest contract in baseball before next season?
$275 million is ludicrous, even for an outstanding player like Pujols. I remember when Mickey Mantle was given a $100,000 contract that was then the richest in baseball, everyone was in awe. Today $100 grand a season is meal money for the big stars.
I am not sure who gets paid more out of the mainstream - star athletes or movie stars. When a first baseman can make more in a week than a 2nd grade school teacher can make in a career, there is something wrong with the society we live in.
