    Wow.

    10 years and over $250 million. Insane.

    Well at least someone else playing first base is getting paid 25 per year and is at least worth it. Though the years aren't.

    Wow! I did not see that coming. I know there were reports that they were in the running for him, but I honestly didn't think it would pan out. I guess this makes Kendry Morales a candidate to be non-tendered now unless they think he can come back healthy and be their DH since he has no trade value at this point. Trumbo has some trade value but I think it's a big risk to move him and hope for Morales to come back, stay healthy, and be productive after missing most of 2 seasons from a stupid injury.

    At least the Angels have the option to DH Pujols at the end of this deal, which the Cardinals couldn't do. That takes away a small amount of the risk but it's still a long contract and a lot of money. I just read that it's in the $250-$260 million range.

    AND, as a bitter Phils fan, at least those douches in St. Louis lost their hero. Good.

    Francisco Rodriguez accepted the Brewers' offer of arbitration. Think they're regretting that decision now? He'll probably make at least what he made last year ($11.5 million) and he'll be their 8th inning guy if they can't trade him.

    Can't believe Pujols is leaving STL. Crazy. That contract is fucking insane for a 32 year old.

    the giants traded torres for the same guy.....and threw in a good bullpen arm :x
    it was more bout getting the arm and getting rid of a locker room cancer. pagan wasn't well liked in the clubhouse and was in terry collins doghouse all season. hes a great player when he wants to show up.

    oh, great :x

    andres is just the opposite....very well liked

    altho 2010 was probably a total anomaly

    R6 contract is clearly the lesser of these 2 evils; still an evil nonetheless of course.

    And yeah - glad those ungrateful Cardinals fans (I have not received one thank you from them for the Phillies getting them into the playoffs) lost their franchise guy. mwah-haha :lol:

    Years aside, the fact that Howard is getting the same AAV as Pujols is just unbelieveble.
