I heard, somewhere that the Angels got a $3 billion dollar tv contract, if true that would explain their coffers running over.

Are you suggesting he's going to retire before his contract is up? If I wanted to try to read minds I'd get married, again.
Bucklion;2059970; said:327.5 million for 2 players? I have never understood the Angels, and I still don't. Pujols is obviously a great player, but this looks like the Rangers with ARoid to me.
"The offer that people have seen on television I want to tell you what, listeners especially, had that offer been given to us with a guarantee, we would have the (Cardinals) bird on our back," Diedre Pujols told 99.1 Joy FM, a St. Louis-area Christian station that received some of its initial funding from Albert Pujols.
Diedre Pujols, speaking with interviewer Sandi Brown, who is her friend, said the couple initially had no plans to ever leave St. Louis or the Cardinals, the only team the first baseman had ever played for.
"When it all came down, I was mad. I was mad at God because I felt like all the signs that had been being played out through the baseball field, our foundation, our restaurant, the Down Syndrome Center, my relationships, my home, my family close," Diedre Pujols told the station. "I mean, we had no reason, not one reason, to want to leave. People were deceived by the numbers."
She indicated the key moment was the Cardinals' initial offer of five years and $130 million.
"When you have somebody say 'We want you to be a Cardinal for life' and only offer you a five-year deal, it kind of confused us," Diedre Pujols said. "Well, we got over that insult and felt like Albert had given so much of himself to baseball and into the community ... we didn't want to go through this again."

After over-paying A-Rod, Pujols, and numerous others on multi-year $100M+ contracts that turn out to be bad investments, wouldn't you think the owners would learn something?
Apparently not:
Mariners have agreed with Robinson Cano on a 10-year, $240M contract
http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer...-are-closing-in-on-a-deal-with-cano-225m-plus
There are 14 teams with payrolls over $100M. Nine of them missed the playoffs, including seven of the top ten (1,3,6,7,8,9,10). Five teams with payrolls under $90M made it. Three of which were under $70M.Nope, too much money out there. A salary cap plus better revenue sharing is about the only thing that will reign it in and bring some needed parity back into the game.

Apparently the Yankmes have offered Shin-Soo Choo a 7 year, 140 million contract. What...the...fuck...
