This time of the season, rumors are always leaked and stories picked up. Here is an interesting scenario of a trade that was recently brought up.

Would never happen, the Phillies would need to add much more in -
LOL what an unequal trade. But Pujols getting traded isn't exactly a farfetched idea, it's not like he'll get top dollar in St. Louis."The good kid from the mad city, holding a cereal box instead of a glock"

After what they paid Holliday, Pujols can demand $30 million a season when he is a free agent. If the Cardinals think that is too much to pay him, Howard is a cheaper option.Comment

haha...I'm going to assume alchohol was involved
Just kidding but seriously? Like the Cardinals would ever trade Pujols
Mozeliak would get run out of St. Louis unless Pujols absolutely said that he hated the city and wasn't coming back (which he never will because he loves the city and has many community ties there)
Sorry to the Phillies and Yankees of the world, Pujols is a lifer in a Cardinal uniformsigpicComment

If he demands 30 Mill a year (which he won't) then yeah maybe we trade himsigpicComment

His agent will get him 30-35 million a year, EASILY, he can say its not about all he wants, everyone does, but at the end of the day, they get paid, Pujols is no different, he'll get the richest contract in MLB historyOriginally posted by Sports Collector View PostComment

nope, his agent isn't Scott Boras.Originally posted by gladdyontherise View Post
He will get 28 mill imo
He wants to win and he knows that if he takes out 35 million a year, room for improvement is very smallsigpicComment

Every agent in the world's job is to get there client the most money possible. because the more there client gets, the more they get.Originally posted by Sports Collector View Post
I'm not going to beat a deadhorse, but he's getting more money on average than Arod, who got 30 or 27 a year.
Every player wants to stay in one place, but if he makes it to free agency, and lets say some team offers him 35 million versus the Cardinals 27 million, why not take the extra 8 million per season to a better team?
The point is all athletes are liers, they all want the most money they can get.Comment
-
well yeah if the difference is 8 million then he's going to go play for someone else
but if the Yankees or somebody else offers him 35 and the Cardinals offer him 31, expect him to stay with the CardinalssigpicComment

He's not going to NY, i'm convinced A) They dont have THAT much money to fool with & B) Teixiera is already there and is a gold glove first basemen, if he were to leave the Cardinals, i'd expect Boston to offer the most for him.Comment

This even being mentioned is a strong indication that the Cardinals won't be able/willing to pay Albert when he's a FA after 2011.....
They'd be nuts to only get Howard for him, though. Howard isn't anywhere near the type of player Pujols is.

What I dont get is if they were worrying about money why pay Holliday? Especially considering they were bidding against themselves, if they offered 9 million a season they still get him, no one would've gone that high, its already been said.Comment

No clue....but I'm pretty sure everyone said when that deal happened that the Cardinals were crazy for paying that kind of money...Originally posted by gladdyontherise View Post

I'm on the record of saying they should've let him walk for 17 million. I think Baltimore was the second highest offering 8 million or so.Originally posted by jsab4807 View PostComment
