 Albert Pujols agrees to 10 year $250 million deal with Angels
DALLAS -- Albert Pujols has agreed to a 10-year, $250 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney on Thursday.

The deal includes a full no-trade clause, which Pujols had been seeking and may have been a sticking point in his negotiations with the Miami Marlins.

Pujols had turned down an offer from the Cardinals, the only team he has ever played for, about a year ago, but St. Louis was still in the bidding as of Wednesday.

Pujols is a three-time MVP who batted .299 with 37 homers and 99 RBIs in 2011, the only season in his 11-year career that he didn't have 100 RBIs or hit better than .300. But the 31-year-old did battle an arm injury.

1. I think Pujols made a mistake not going back to the Cardinals...n/t


WAIT....Where is the OUTRAGE for all that money that Pujols is going to be making for just playing a game.

I think you mean Ozzie Guillen, Pujols is from the Dominican Republic. But it's true he's no Hugo fan.

Pujols is conservative, but as a Cubs fan, I still didn't like him. I'm glad he's gone from the National League.

Damn', FINALLY.  The Cards have been yanking him for a year on this, and he wanted to stay with them but the ownership just kept f*cking with him because they wouldn't either agree to or flatley refuse a ten-year deal.

It's all the dumbshit sports talk guy on the local talk radio station has been jacking his jaw about (Blaming Pujols instead of the team, of course!) for the WHOLE DAMNED YEAR, and I am totally, totally sick of hearing it.

Go Albert!
