It's all about the benjamins, and always was. Bye Pujols. Enjoy your decline phase.

I hope he never gets a statue retired in front of Busch though and I hope some utility middle infield wears #5 next year.

Holliday can have it back, if he'd like.

Glad we didn't give that contract. Plus it makes more sense for an AL team to have that long a contract.

I'm disappointed, but not devastated. I'm happy he got "respectable" money and he's in the AL. Although the new schedules may allow us to see him more than we thought.

I'm not sure why, but I'm not really upset at this.

Now I am [expletive] depressed.

I can't blame him for taking the money, but really, $250 to $260 million? Is it really worth destroying your legacy in St. Louis?

[expletive] you Albert.

And in my head, this makes it official.

Prolly because it's crazy money.

He'll still be in red, tho.

Good move by our team. Happy trails, big guy. Enjoy LA. Hope to beat you in a World Series real soon.

its very difficult for me to not mock his sanctity so i won't here.


strange feeling but i imagine we'll get over it by opening day...or...after the first game at least.

Seems like the Cards had a pretty fair valuation and the Angels blew it out of the water. Maybe he'll pull a Maddux or Bonds, but more likely the end of this deal is gonna be pretty ugly.

So long, MV3. Hello Miller and Taveras, hopefully.
