According to Ken Rosenthal, a source told him the Cardinals offered Albert Pujols roughly $20 million per season before contract negotiations failed to create a new deal on Wednesday. The offer was probably eight or nine seasons.
Did Cardinals Really Offer Albert Pujols Only $20 Million Per Season?
↵If true, there are three possibilities:
↵1. For some reason, management really thought it would be fun to insult Pujols and aggravate his agent, or
↵2. the club’s really not all that interested in retaining Pujols’ services after this season, or
↵3. the Cardinals really don’t believe that Pujols just turned 31.
↵Maybe I’m missing something, but I just can’t think of another reason why they would even bother to offer $20 million to a player who is so obviously worth at least $30 million, both on the field and on the open market.
