Albert Pujols has signed a ten year contract with the Los Angeles Angels worth $250 million. So much for team loyalty.

Could see it if there had been a big difference between what the Cardinals and the Marlins offered, but we're talking about something like 2%. What a bum.

Having been a Cardinal fan all my life I must say I am sorry he is gone...Do I blame him? Of course not, who wouldn't take the best deal? I wish him well. He did a lot for the Cardinal organization while he was there and I am sure he will do much for the Angel's franchise as well.

I think if you're a 31 year-old baseball player, and somebody is willing to give you a 10 year contract, you take it.

I never said it was "wrong" for Pujols to do what he did, if you look at post #6 on this topic you'll see what I said:

"I'm not saying that he didn't have the right to do it,
I just wish he had the heart not to."

Of course he had every right to do what he wanted to...I was just emphathizing with the Cardinal fans,especially the youngsters who had their hearts "broken".

As for Reyes, why would anyone want to re-up with the Mets (my team too) if they could get out of the mess in aptly named "Flushing"...we're in for a very long season.

I don't hate anybody. By no big fan i just meant I don't care all that much. Some people seem a little ticked off but I my hand is down. I'd take the money, especially for 10 years as cubswin said.
