Do I want to be in STL forever? Of course. People from other teams want to play in STL and they are jealous that we're in STL because the fans are unbelievable. So why would you want to leave a place like STL to go somewhere else and make 3 OR 4 MORE MILLION A YEAR? IT'S NOT ABOUT MONEY. I ALREADY GOT MY MONEY. IT'S ABOUT WINNING, THAT'S IT." - Albert Pujols.
It was always about the money(and could give a crap about winning).... You should've been honest Albert it would have been easier to accept. I actually like the Angels a lot and glad he went there as opposed to other teams. I hope he and the Angels are successful. I just have a hard time understanding the greed side of it. Thank goodness for Vintage Baseball!

pujols gave st louis an awesome discount the last contract...brought the team a couple ws and made larussa a better manager than he actually was. instead of showing him the respect and courtesy he deserved, they signed holliday to a big contract w/o re-upping pujols first. and now they tried to lowball him for a 2nd time because of this bullshit "hometown discount" thing.
people wanting to be paid accordingly to their performance level is not greedy. pujols would be stupid for not taking the angels deal.

He got $105 million for 7 years, $15 million a year. At the time it was the biggest contract ever for a player of his amount of years of service and guaranteed him security for life. He could have chanced it and taken 2 more one year contracts, and signed a huge deal at age 25 or 6, but he took the security of $105 million at age 25. And the Cardinals last offer of 9 years was a fair offer as well, Albert merely was offered more and took it. I don't blame him either way. It seems it's not the Cardinal fans who are upset but everyone else.
