Default The Rumor to Make All Sox Fans Drool

Just saw this article on ESPN Boston. At first glance you think it is only a dream, but when you get into logistics it really could happen.

Quote:
Now batting for the Boston Red Sox, the designated hitter, No. 5, Albert Pujols.

Preposterous? Not so much. Allow us to explain.
Why the Boston Red Sox could be the next stop for St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols. - ESPN Boston

I did not even need to click on the post to know the player.
In addition, if he changes teams, its obvious who will be the front runner and will pay him major $$$$$$$$$$$ and years. He will be the highest paid athlete in baseball.

he should just stay in St. Louis. there is no sense making baseball more of a mess than it already is. If he went to the Yankees or Red Sox, that would just make a mockery of the game if you ask me.

I don't think the issue is so much the $ per year but the length of the contract he's apparently demanding, but the Sox clearly would be one suitor -- are there many other premier FAs expected after this season?

Sadly I think their already there, Mega rich owners that don't spend the money but have no problem cashing their luxury tax checks are just as big of a mockey imo.

He's not going to accept being a DH, not happening.

I think you pitch it that he and Gonzalez are going to share 1B and DH duties -- play up the rest angle. If he's getting the $ and the years, I'd be shocked if that were a deal-killer.
