Pujolsapalooza: Multiple Reports - 10 Year Contract with Angels
What clubs? There are no other clubs! Cubs and Angels interest are both minimal, and he's not going to get a better offer than the Marlins offer.
Lozano didn't get Pujols the biggest deal possible. He couldn't even convince the Cardinals to put in a 10th year after the Marlins did. He failed Albert as an agent imo.
I thought it was reported that the Cardinals added the 10th year...?
--------------------
Also, it isn't his job to make Pujols sign the highest priced deal. He got Pujols the offers to consider and Pujols can take it from there with some guidance. In what would should the agent just force his client to take the highest money deal with no other considerations?
--------------------
MH, that was serious, see?

I said the most from the Cardinals. He wanted to be with the Cardinals all along, and Lozano did his best to make up fake teams to raise the Cardinals price, but they never budged. A good agent probably could've gotten more than two teams interested in the best free agent who is the best player in baseball.
You didn't say the most from the Cardinals - you're post is right up there ^

Then you said this and added the "even" which would make one logically assume that it is not the same exact thought as the previous sentence.
9 or 10 year contract for a 31-35 year old with an average annual salary of over $20M a year is not the kind of deal that is going to have too many teams competing.
Scott Boras got 10 years $275 for a 32 year old A-Rod. Not the best comparison, but just sayin.
It's not semantics. You said one thing and when I responded you said that you said something that you did not say.
Anyway, look at the Yankees. They are stuck with a declining ARod making insane money that he is not worth. Perhaps there is something to learn from there.
