Always about the money. Hope he enjoys the bigger tax bill in CA.
But if he is thinking that after he retires that he will be welcomed back and treated the way Cardinal Nation treats players like Stan, Gibby and Lou he is dead wrong.
Frankly I really didn’t care if he stayed or not...just as long as the Cubs didn’t get him.
Fielder to the Cards then?
I couldn’t agree more.
My opinion of AP has sunk completely at this point and, while the Cards fans will be polite, they will never react to him like they do to Musial.
My thoughts exactly. How much more in taxes does he have to pay in California compared to Missouri?
Plus, the cost of living is considerably higher in Lala land as well. How much more will it cost him in that category?
The taxes and living costs will eat up most of the difference in the offers he got from the Cards to the Halo`s.
I am a life long Cardinals fan and my first reaction when I heard the news was , “ so what “ !! The Cards are still stacked and now they have about 200 million more to spread around if they wish.
Long term, this may actually work out better for the Cards.
I wish Pujols all the luck in the world with his new club. Loved watching him and still will, but Cardinal nation will endure. Go Cards !!!
