I must admit, I keep wondering how the hell are they going to lock down Stanton with all the money they are throwing out now.

He will provide alot of money as he starts to break records at the end of the deal.

#marlins strong pursuit of pujols realistically has winnowed the field for pujols to them and incumbent #cardinals.

Cardinals have been resistant to upgrade pujols bid. With marlins strong push, they have tough decision to make.

I still think the spending and the extensions are mutually exclusive.

I love sports writer sour-grapes, this courtesy of Buster Olney:

Anyone who played Batman and Robin with a friend as a kid will know why it's so very important to get this question answered: If Albert Pujols takes his talents to South Beach, joining Heath Bell and Jose Reyes, is he the LeBron James of the trio?

Bell carries less star power than the other two, so he's the Chris Bosh. But is Reyes or Pujols the LeBron James, and which of the two is the Dwyane Wade?

The big knock on James is that he's never won a championship, and Pujols has won two. On the other hand, Wade and Reyes are both speed guys and seem to match up in style, and with all due respect to Wade, James is the bigger star, no matter how much championship bling Wade has.

Without a doubt, Pujols is a bigger star than Reyes. Pujols may finish his career among the five or six greatest players of all time, ranked somewhere among Babe Ruth and Willie Mays and Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds, and may soon have something else in common with all those players -- playing for more than one team in his career.

It's impossible to envision Pujols playing in a uniform other than that of the St. Louis Cardinals, least of all in the mismatched pajama look of the Miami Marlins. This is like a former president moving from the White House to the Playboy mansion.

Been told by several #Marlins sources that Pujols is done.

Ohhh he's trying to make a name for himself by being the first.

Risky.

Also what is actually "done".

Is that sour-grapes? It reads more like he had nothing to write about so he did something really uninteresting because the comparisons were inevitable.

According to multiple sources, Albert Pujols will sign with the Miami #Marlins. Haven't confirmed years yet. Was told 10 by 1 source

That would be "meeting is done". Nothing to see here RT @dvillavicencio6 Been told by several #Marlins sources that Pujols is done.

These wacky winter meetings

I swear to God David.

[MiamiHomer]

I think David V's career is on the line here.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

David is getting an itchy finger. The other sports writers are probably laughing their assess off at him.

I just ran around my office high fiving everyone, it better be true.
