If the Phillies didn't have Howard Id bet they are the 3rd team. They love to swoop in.

@mlbtraderumors: RT @BNightengale: #STLCARDS Pujols now has three teams that are offering 10-year contracts in excess of $200 million: STL, MIAMI, AND unidentified team

I really want to the go to the gym, but I can't leave this computer until we at least know where Pujols is going, or when they are done meeting for the day.

 

 

UCF gym? Don't they always have the big tv there on ESPN anyway?

 

True...but I have to comment about it after it happens SILLY!

btw - I am really pissed at Millar and his continuous lack of knowledge and marlins bashing

 

I also believe that its a positive thing for the marlins for this to be taking so long

 

 

You'd figure it'd be opposite since we gave him a starting job in the major leagues and traded him to a great organization with which he won a world series. He's just mad cause he's second fiddle to Guy Fieri.

Breaking news Yankees offer Pujols 1 year 300 million contract.

third team is cubs but why would he go there?

Talking about the Mystery team right now on MLBN

Talking about the Mystery team right now on MLBN

 

 

I'm banking on the Expos

Discussing mystery third team on Hot Stove. Verducci doesn't think it's CHC. Plesac smells Rangers or Nats.

Fill us in, please.

Since the Marlins have 5 retired Pujols should wear $$ on the back of his uniform

 

Yeah, that's true, what happens there? ...

 

That's what all these meetings are for. Unretiring the number.

I remember there was talk about management actually unretiring the number after the name change. Their explanation was that, as we all know, the Miami Marlins have no connections to that "other" team that was named after a state and so history resets itself... but I guess this was probably the real reason.

I'd bet it's the Nationals. They seem like a team that would come out of nowhere to overpay.

Curses. Lunch break over. See if I can get any sports networks on one of our TVs.....

Now discussing Angels to come in and sweep him out

They also think is the Angels.

I think it's his agent trying to raise the price.

Verducci -- "wouldn't rule out" Angels as mystery team

10 years 230 should get it done

After tonight, Plesac says nothing will get done, Verducci says Marlins.

They also said it could be made up and that even if a third team came along, since we are talking with mlb lawyers about possible contract details, it might not even matter.

I hate that logic cuz with that we might as well forget about our two world championships and we should have released every player who played on the Florida Marlins in 2011. Are the Miami Marlins an expansion team in 2012? No. Same team, new name, same history and lineage.

 

That said, I wouldnt mind unretiring the number... just not under the logic of being disassociated with the Florida franchise.

My body is ready.

I think Miami is too far into negotiations for another "mystery" team to make a huge impact. I think we have the momentum.

Plesac says Free Agent Tommorow, Verducci says unofficially a Marlin

Next thing you know, Marlins bump offer to 12 years ...
