I haven't seen this issue addressed in the sports press, but it's possible to even likely that the Angels had to buy out that personal services part of the contract when they released Albert.Big Amoco Sign wrote: ↑October 12 21, 7:39 amAlbert gets a big one.

How good is Yadier Molina, really?

Ah already forgot about that. Yeah I'd like to know the details there. His statue should already be in design phase.heyzeus wrote: ↑October 12 21, 7:47 amI haven't seen this issue addressed in the sports press, but it's possible to even likely that the Angels had to buy out that personal services part of the contract when they released Albert.Big Amoco Sign wrote: ↑October 12 21, 7:39 amAlbert gets a big one.

From the PD after his release (it’s all up to Albert to accept)…Big Amoco Sign wrote: ↑October 12 21, 7:49 amAh already forgot about that. Yeah I'd like to know the details there.

https://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseba ... 2a878.htmlPujols' contract includes a 10-year personal services contract that was seen at the time as a lifetime commitment by the player and the Angels for life after his retirement. It is worth $10 million, and it is an option he has to accept after retirement. That element of his contract with the Angels continues with them regardless of when he retires, or the team he's on before retiring. He can decline that contract too.

Don't it always seem to go?

Really good question. And I think unless you lived through the 1940s to present, it's really tough to make the comparison.
When I think of statues, I think of Cardinals legacy. And no one over the last 40 years (roughly my lifetime) has had a more profound legacy as a Cardinal than Yadier Molina.
