Angels get Pujols!?!

[Jefe]

Wow. Link.

The Angels are the bridesmaid no more. Albert Pujols will sign with the Angels for ten years and $250-260MM, tweets Yahoo's Tim Brown. He'll receive a full no-trade clause. Pujols decided this morning, writes Brown. If Pujols received more than $252MM, his new deal will be the second-largest in baseball history in both its total and average annual value.

wow ... interesting to see what dominoes start to fall as a result ...

[Grinch]

As a $2 Trumbo owner..........SH!T

so what now?????

[Bodhizefa]

Ho-leee-crap!

Mariners might as well pack it in and not spend a dime this winter. The AL West is going to be the Rangers/Angels show for a good while now.

Here's hoping Boras shoves Prince Fielder up Texas' derriere now.

[Jefe]

The A"s should get Trumbo just on principle. For nothing.

so does STL now take the dough it was going to hand Pujols and get Fielder?

[DJBeasties]

The mystery team was real, I guess. I'm not sure if this does anything to his roto value though.

Well, Berkman's at 1B now, right?

They should go for Darvish.

[Pauly]

another great slugger goes to the AL.

NL only keeps getting duller and duller.

Allen Craig just had surgery and is questionable for opening day, so they should just move Berkman back to right field and replace the lost offense .

Pujols + Vernon Wells = The 17th-highest payroll in MLB.

It will balance next year when Houston moves to the AL :biggrin:

There goes the argument about small market teams being able to compete at the top levels of free agency.

I don't think Prince will take 10/200...

Did you consider the Angels to be a small market? Or are you referring to Miami? If so, you have to take Miami's new stadium into account as a huge revenue stream -- obviously they are. If they're still considered "small market" 5 years from now, then something would have gone incredibly wrong......
