December 8, 201114 yr WOW! Didn't see that coming. At least the have the benefit of the DH, going to need it once he starts getting toward the back end of the contract. 252 million, wow. I definitely see why he could leave St. Louis though. I mean he had already won a couple rings, his manager retires, nothing really left to prove. Plus who wouldn't trade LA for St. Louis?
December 8, 201114 yr With Trumbo and Morales under contract, I'm assuming the Angels will be looking for takers for one of them....Cubs? Marlins? :idunno:
December 8, 201114 yr Someone said it would probably take 50 mil over what the Cards were offering and that is exactly what it was.
December 8, 201114 yr Pujols was the foundation. So many question marks now. At least they have some money to play with but I doubt they go after Prince and outside of him there really isn't much out there.
December 8, 201114 yr Someone said it would probably take 50 mil over what the Cards were offering and that is exactly what it was. They said the Cards stopped at 220 Mil.
December 8, 201114 yr They said the Cards stopped at 220 Mil. That 20 mil added on I think is an option that people reported. Pretty sure it was just around 200 mil. Cards didn't really budge on offer in Dallas.
December 8, 201114 yr With Trumbo and Morales under contract, I'm assuming the Angels will be looking for takers for one of them....Cubs? Marlins? :idunno:I'd think the Marilns would just stick with Gaby in that scenario.
December 8, 201114 yr I'd think the Marilns would just stick with Gaby in that scenario. I'd assume so as well. I'm a pretty big Morales fan. Surely he's an upgrade over Gaby, but I don't know if it's enough to give up what they'd have to.
December 8, 201114 yr Too much money. What if he soon starts to fade? Haven't there always been questions about his true age? I assume all the money is guaranteed. The Angels will be stuck with him like the Reds were with Larkin......paying a lot of jack with no production.
December 8, 201114 yr I'd assume so as well. I'm a pretty big Morales fan. Surely he's an upgrade over Gaby, but I don't know if it's enough to give up what they'd have to.In their best seasons they are only about a win off in WAR. Don't see the Marlins even thinking about it for a second...
December 8, 201114 yr Author Ing to the AL could him Pujols long term. With the DH in placehe can still bat but nit have to play 1B everyday.
