Dash Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Just reported on ESPN. Agreed to a 10 year $250 million deal. Edited December 8, 2011 by Dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 How random. Kind of surprised he would leave St Louis where he has such a legacy and just dip for money. I mean having 200 million makes you rich, 250 million just allows you to brag about a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Worst contract in sports history lol. Wtf were they thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Im glad we didn't give in to that deal. I wanted Pujols, but once I found out he wanted like 10 yrs 250 million I was hoping we wouldn't go for it. He is going to be dead weight in the last 5 years of his contract.

Cobb Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 What a relief. I would've been scared if he had went to the Marlins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRV Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Actually wait, he would have made more money if he played for us because he loses a shit load of money in taxes. Guess he just didn't want to wear our shitty uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Wtf? I don't watch baseball that much, but Pujols leaving the Cardinals to me is like Duncan leaving the Spurs or Peyton leaving the Colts. Sad because I thought he would end his career in St. Lous.

Cobb Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Alex Rodriguez signed a 10-year contract with the Rangers back in 2001 that was worth $252 million. Albert Pujols' 10-year deal with the Angels is worth $254 million. Coincidence that it's $2 million more? I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Yea but he doesn't actually get all that money, he would have made more with the Marlins because we have no state income tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Yea but he doesn't actually get all that money, he would have made more with the Marlins because we have no state income tax. Even before the tax thing, the Marlins offer was supposedly higher. Guess he just prefers LA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 I think the Angels were the only ones that hit the 250 million mark, the Cardinals gave the 4th best offer, and there was another team in there along with the Marlins but no one knows what team it was. We also refuse to give no-trade clauses to any player, so that is probably why he chose the Angels over us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word is that the Marlins offered 275, but their refusal to include a no-trade clause was the deciding factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I heard was that they offered below 250. I am glad we didn't go to 275, we have overpaid everyone we wanted already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 The 275 wasn't 275, but that's what it adjusted to when you factor in no taxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 How random. Kind of surprised he would leave St Louis where he has such a legacy and just dip for money. I mean having 200 million makes you rich, 250 million just allows you to brag about a bit more. He gave the organization two years to sign him they waited just so he would get paid more and they lost im not surprised at all he left good for him. It s a business at the end of the day.
