Albert Pujols is expected to report to spring training on Feb. 16, making that the deadline for his contract negotiations with the St. Louis Cardinals, sources told ESPN. Pujols and the Cardinals had been negotiating under the player's original deadline of Feb. 19, the first day he was scheduled to arrive in training camp. After he begins spring training, Pujols does not want his agent, Dan Lozano, to discuss a contract with the Cardinals because he doesn't want to have any distractions, a stance he has taken throughout his career.
The understanding within the St. Louis front office is that Pujols will not accept any trade going forward, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney on Jan. 29. He has the right to veto any trade proposal, and would do so.

Ike Davis of the Mets was asked what he thought about moving to a different position if the Mets could land Pujols. His answer? "I'd be a ****ing middle reliever to get Pujols." He was all for it, and he does have a low- to mid-90s fastball (learned it from his father).

Unless something changes quite dramatically on the financial side for the Mets, there is a snowball's chance in hell that Pujols go there.
