i'm surprised.

I wonder how they have his yearly pay broken up. I'm sure they front loaded the deal so that they are paying him the bulk of the money when he's still producing.

I have a feeling that they'll be paying him for several years when he'll be a part time DH at best.

Sounds like his deal also has a full no trade clause, something the Marlins didn't want to give him. I wonder if the Marlins are going to do what they did the last time they won the world series back in 2003. Load up on a ton of talent, win the title and then dismantle the team and trade away all the expensive assets they have. Thats probably why they insist on not giving a no trade clause.

Pujols has put up insanely consistent/amazing numbers the last 11 years. He has averaged 42 HRs, 126 RBIs and .328/.420/.617 line over his first 11 years in the majors. Nobody has put up even close to as consistent numbers over the past 11 years, not to mention, his name has never been linked to steroids. Not to mention he has averaged 155 games/season over the course of his 11 seasons thus far, which is jaw dropping to put up those big of numbers consistently for 11 years and not sustain any major injuries.

As insane as his contract is, you would be kidding yourself if you think he was going to sign a contract for anything under 10 yrs/$200,000,000. When you have the track record he has, it results in some serious leverage come negotiation time.

Don't remember now exactly what Mauer's deal is here, but isn't it similar? Anyone think these two are even in the same ballpark, talent wise?

Baseball will price themselves out of the market for the average fan if they have not already.

Noone is worth what some of these players are paid.

Angels must want the 2012 world series.

8 years and 184 million. signed through 2018.

huge difference is pujols will be about 41/42 when his deal ends and joe will be about 36.

Its crazy in these times. What if the economy gets worse, and people just stop going to the over priced games? I guess it is stupid over priced contracts like this that may actually end up helping the small market teams in the long run. They are an injury away from having to pay $25 million a year for 10 years to a single player. I would sure like to see a salary cap on baseball. The problem is until baseball gets a new commissioner, it will never happen.

Why do you say they are not worth what they are paid? Could you say that for any job? The "Market" decides their contracts.

For the next 3-5 years, glad the Angels aren't in our division. After that, wish the Angels were in our division.

ah no donbo lol, not even close, pitch to albert and you hope to keep it in the park, pitch to Joe and you know at least it won't leave the park especially with the dome baseball being done. Here's the deal, tie game in the 9th, do you want to pitch to Albert or Joe. You'll intentionally walk Albert and let Joe slap a single. I miss the metrodome seating prices. I will not be funding Joe's deal in person, wish I could, but can't. What is crazy some is the deficit our state is in, wait until the February report on our states status, it's always been the rich get richer the poor get poorer, no end in sight for that.

The Cardinals will be just fine with Prince Feilder. wink

Not going to happen:

The St. Louis Cardinals are not expected to sign free-agent 1B Prince Fielder (Brewers) because they aren't willing to give him a no-trade clause.

      Big Traverse Ice Free

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   The big basin, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  Zippel Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  Everything is shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. With the walleye / sauger season currently closed, most anglers are targeting sturgeon and pike.  Some sturgeon anglers are fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River, but most sturgeon are targeted in Four Mile Bay or the Rainy River.  Hence, pike are the targeted species on the south shore and various bays currently.   Pike fishing this time of year is a unique opportunity, as LOW is border water with Canada, the pike season is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn.  Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.   Four Mile Bay, Bostic Bay and Zippel Bay are all small water and boats of various sizes work well. On the Rainy River...  Great news this week as we learned sturgeon will not be placed on the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.     The organization had to make a decision by June 30 and listing sturgeon could have ended sturgeon fishing.  Thankfully, after looking at the many success stories across the nation, including LOW and the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing and successful sturgeon management continues.   A good week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  Speaking to some sturgeon aficionados, fishing will actually get even better as water temps rise.     Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River near the Wheeler's Point Boat Ramp is still producing good numbers of fish, as are various holes along the 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  A few spots with rotten ice, but as a rule, most of the Angle is showing off open water.  In these parts, most are looking ahead to the MN Fishing Opener.  Based on late ice fishing success, it should be a good one.

      Nice fish. I moved to the Sartell area last summer and just thought it was windy like this everyday up here? 🤭

      Crazy windy again today.... This is has been the norm this spring. Between the wind and the cold fronts, fishing has been more challenging for me than most years.  Panfish have been moving in and out of the shallows quite a bit. One day they are up in the slop, the next they are out relating to cabbage or the newly sprouting lilly pads.  Today eye guy and I found them in 4-5 ft of water, hanging close to any tree branches that happened to be laying in the water.  Bigger fish were liking a 1/32 head and a Bobby Garland baby shad.   Highlight of the day way this healthy 15incher
