Marlins have made 10-year offer to Pujols

All I can say is I am glad the Cards are not going to be on the hook for $26 million per, especially once Albert gets into his late 30's and he really starts to decline. It sucks to lose a legend, but if the money is that important to him, best of luck to him.

Looking forward, looks like Master Allen is the smart pick to put at first and get his bat into the lineup every day. Now the Cards can go out and pick up 3-4 fairly decent pieces to fill out the lineup. Hanley Ramirez is not a happy camper in Miami right now so he could be a possible add at short. I would really like the Cards to fill out the middle infield and get maybe a starter or some mid-priced relief help.
