I think you mean the Cardinals and it was an insulting offer. The previous contract Pujols signed was also a bad contact in the Cardinals favor. Pujols honored it and expected to get compensated in his next deal and didn't. Pujols did the right thing by still playing and not sitting out, holding out or demanding a trade like some other players do. He was loyal to the Cardinals and it wasn't returned. Now that the shoe is on the other foot and it is the Angels that are on the wrong end of the deal, why should Pujols be expected to act any differently?
