Pujolsapalooza: Multiple Reports - 10 Year Contract with Angels

[HUGG]

It's digging your feet in on the most inconsequential issue imaginable.

I agree that it is.

So why is Pujols doing it?
--------------------
The Marlins aren't demanding he take no no trade clause. Pujols is demanding they give him one.

[Miamarlin21]

I dont know about you guys but i hope he stays in STL. i like gaby too much and pujols isnt worth the money at his age. Rite now what i really want insted of albertico is burhle,wilson,and cespedes and i will be so much happier!

You're crazy bruh. Not going to happen.

[Party]

I see what you did there Hugg.

[HUGG]

It honestly pisses me off the more I think about it. They're offering him an insane contract and he (his agent) is bitching about a no trade clause. What a fucking dick.
--------------------
I at least get it with Buehrle because his contract would actually be movable.

These agents like "negotiating" over everything. I suppose they must live off the thrill of prying more and more concessions from the other side, even if their victories ultimately prove meaningless.

[Swifty]

It's just choosing your employer. I don't begrudge him that. If anything, insisting on a NTC is a compliment to the organization yet we treat it as an affront.

[HUGG]

Fair enough. He can go somewhere else then.

Our offer is more than great and I'm not gonna blame the Marlins if it doesn't happen.

No they don't. They treat it like a potentially bad business decision.

[Party]

They should offer him one four year term as county mayor in exchange for dropping the NTC demand. I think it would lock him into SoFla. This is also something the Marlins could do for a few hundred grand in kickbacks.

[Miamarlin21]

I need to stop looking at a computer screen. When I clicked on this where it said "last post" I swore it said "Beer" and not Beef.

[Ramp]

it does say Beer

[Beef]

Hugg, please send MH a tweet and tell him that I am now more serious than Festa.

[Miamarlin21]

We're just getting out of control:

If #Marlins miss out on Pujols, maybe they'll go after Tim Tebow #needsomesleep

He's the one being courted and has no connection to the Marlins. Why should he pull up short of getting the best possible value for him?

[HUGG]

Again, fair enough. He can go somewhere else.
