A huge question in the Pujols situation is this: How much chip-on-the-shoulder factor is alive, given past failed negotiations with STL?

 

 

What does this mean, I'm bad at deciphering these idioms.

Basically asking if Pujols has soured in general towards the Cardinals based on their low-ball offers.

I will get soon a Pujols orange authentic jersey as soon as it comes out (assuming he signs).

He is basically asking if Pujols will want to give St. Louis management the middle finger for the crappy way they handled past negotiations with him

He's insinuating that maybe Pujols spites the Cards because of the failed negotiations. Like, he's just looking for a reason not go back to STL.

Wow, I don't think I've seen this many members on the site in a long time....

After all Pujols has done for St. Louis, he was annoyed that the Cardinals weren't even willing to pay him $200 million as a final offer, when he was asking for $300 million. Olney is basically questioning whether he might go to the Marlins out of frustration of not getting respect in his last offer from the Cardinals. (At least that's what I'm reading into it).

If Pujols is signed, do we break the users online record?

Report: Marlins’ Offer To Albert Pujols Is Worth Over $200 Million

 

It was reported earlier that Albert Pujols had received a 10-year offer from the Miami Marlins. Jon Morosi of Fox Sports has now confirmed that the value of that deal is worth over $200 million.

 

It is believed that Pujols and the Marlins are currently working on a disagreement in the contract over a no-trade clause, which could represent the final hurdle before the two sides agree to terms. It is believed that the Marlins current offer for first baseman is greater than the one offered by the St. Louis Cardinals last offseason. The Chicago Cubs are also believed to have given Pujols a contract offer.

 

The Marlins have already made a big splash in free-agency this winter, having signed Jose Reyes to a six-year $106 million deal, and Heath Bell to a three-year $27 million deal. If Pujols were to sign with the Marlins, he would become just the second player in baseball history to sign a deal worth more than $200 million.

 

Pujols, 31, is considered by many to be the top free-agent on the market this winter. The slugging first baseman hit .299/.366/.541 with 37 home runs and 99 RBI for the Cardinals last season.

He was also surprised the Cardinals hired Mike Matheny as their new manager, and he hasn't played for anyone except Tony LaRussa in his MLB career. So....

That was not funny to us mobile users. -_-

Don't do that again.

So are they rumored to be offering him a full no trade clause over ten years?

#Marlins pres David Samson says: "There will NOT be a free agent signed that includes a no-trade clause." So team sticking with policy.

Ugh... it's like someone punched me in the stomach.

It seems like it's a NTC for 5 years, and the the 10/5 rights kick in. Let me find the source.

 

 

 

 

 

Pujols, who spent his first 11 major league seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, wants no-trade protection for first five years. Then he would regain his 10/5 rights. The Marlins will not relent completely on a no-trade clause for Pujols, a source said. A compromise is possible, but Pujols will likely want a significant deterrent.

He gets it after year 5 as a "10 and 5" guy regardless.

 

My guess is that they will give him a partial no-trade clause.

That's what I heard on TV this morning...

 

Edit: or maybe they were discussing the possibility of it. I lack the ability to comprehend anything when I have not finished at least one cup of coffee.
