I didn't say that at all. They have for now yes. It's never been in their nature to stay competitive though for long. I'm talking about a guy in his low 30's (as far as we know) demanding that kind of money for 10 more years. I just find it ridiculous on both sides part. It's the business of sports these days though.

That is so much money.

We'll have to wait and see what kind of fan base their new stadium and roster brings.

They couldn't sustain a team because no one goes to their games. Same shit with Tampa Bay. Tampa just has a really, really, really good scouting/development thing going on.

10 years is 5 years too long of a deal.

#STLCARDS Pujols now has three teams that are offering 10-year contracts in excess of $200 million: STL, MIAMI, AND unidentified team

Surely he re-signs with StL again if this is the case... for all the reasons mentioned before.

All tweets around the board indicate the Marlins want to get this done tonight if he's serious... they don't want to be used to jack up the price.

Exactly. If he really ends up being dominant still after another big 5 year deal then sign another deal after that and say "I told ya so." Don't handcuff a team you want to win with though with 10 years for the kind of money he wants. He has to understand that isn't good business for any team... which is why I find him to be just another me first guy.

Yes I understand you want to get all you can... and he will... it would just be nice to see someone use some logic once in a sports contract negotiation. OK I admit that last sentence is funny.
