Jim Bowden of ESPN just tweeted that it's down to the Marlins and Cardinals, "period."

Makes sense, there were a ton of different writers saying the Angels and Cubs weren't in on this.

Just remember, Bob Nightengale is Dan Lozano's version of Jon Heyman for Scott Boras. If Heyman says something about a Boras client it probably came from Boras' mouth same for Nightengale and Lozano.

Maybe Cardinals fans don't feel this way, but I think it would be foolish to invest $200+ million and 10 years in someone who has probably 3-4 years left being worth it.

Do they want to be paying someone $30 million+ who's 35 and hitting .270 like the Yankees are? I don't think that's in the team's long-term best interest...

Beginning to feel that way myself. Get another outfielder and top pitcher for the same money. The offense is down a bit, but it picks up the pitching staff. This contract would take Pujols until he's 41. Unless he starts dipping into the steroids like Bonds, his career will start dipping after 35.

Marlins are on ****ing fire. Now they are offering CJ Wilson a 6 year deal.

No final decision in place, but there is a growing sense among some of officials involved in Pujols talks that he is staying with St. Louis.

Probably. Marlins made a 6 year offer to CJ Wilson. Speculations are that they couldn't make that offer if they feel Pujols is leaning towards Stl.

Could the Marlins be any more transparent?

It is obvious they are trying to go all 1997 again to promote the new stadium by overpaying for a ton of big free agents, winning the World Series, and then dumping them all in trades a year or two later.

This was the cheapest organization in the sport just a year or two ago.

Lots of buzz in Dallas that the Pujols decision is shifting strongly in the #Cardinals direction.

#marlins already in pursuit of prince. Signs indicate cards likely to get pujols

A Pyrrhic victory, if they paid him anywhere near what the Marlins were offering.

Source says Pujols continues to negotiate with clubs other than #Cardinals. But Albert will not be going to Florida.

He picked the loosest purse-strings in the league to set the market price, now he'll find the team he really wants to play for?
