Marlins told they are out of Pujols chase

DALLAS -- The Miami Marlins have been told by a representative of Albert Pujols that he will not be joining the calvacade of stars the free-spending club has collected this week at the winter meetings, according to a source familiar with that conversation.
The Marlins have retrained their focus now on pitching.
In addition to finalizing a contract with St. Charles native Mark Buehrle, the Marlins remain engaged in discussions with another free agent starter, reportedly C. J. Wilson. During his conversation with Marlins beat writers and one intruder, general manager Larry Beinfest said the team has put its focus on pitching.
"We are working very hard on pitching," Beinfest said. "We're working on some stuff. It's been an active week."
He added later: "Pitching remains a high priority."
The Cardinals, who cancelled a scheduled evening press briefing for tonight, remain in the best position to re-sign Pujols. Beinfest declined to comment on what he thought the market was for the three-time MVP beyond the Marlins interest.
