HBT: Cards offered Pujols $195 million

USA TODAY?s Bob Nightengale?has an excellent article on what?s happened to date and what?s still to come in Albert Pujols? contract negotiations with the Cardinals.? A couple of the highlights:

- Two sources told Nightengale?that the Cards? offer to Pujols last winter was for $195 million over nine years, not the $220 million-$230 million originally reported.? That seems awfully low for baseball?s best player.

- Pujols? agent, Dan Lozano, and Cards GM John Mozeliak have spoken just twice since the two sides agreed to shelve talks in spring training.

Also, there?s this quote from Tony La Russa:

Look, we?ve got a great organization. You got a great player. Albert wants to stay. They want him to stay.? If there?s any way to work it, they?ll work it.

But the reality is that this is a different climate than it used to be. I don?t know if they can work out a deal or not.

The whole article is worth reading, so check it out.
