Apparently death made Ron Santo a better player - whatever the Veterans Committee goes by now has elected him to the Hall of Fame.

Nats are apparently offering CJ Wilson a 6yr deal.

He's cashing in big time on a weak SP market.

Marlins still after Pujols but may apparently have to trade Hanley Ramirez. Excitement.

PhillyPhreak54 · December 06, 2011, 10:01:16 PM

Mets sign Jon Rauch (were talking to Lidge too)

They also traded Angel Pagan to SF for Andres Torres and Ramon Ramirez

Edit - they signed Frank Francisco too

Marlins "emotionally moving on" from Pujols and signed Buerhle instead.

hes going to be garbage in the NL but will dominate the phillies

3 teams in running for Pujols:

Angels
Cardinals
mystery team (~~not confirmed to be~~ actually is the Cubs)

Ok, maybe not the Cubs... Per Stark:

QuoteDefinitely less skepticism now that unidentified 3rd team in Pujols bidding is real. Appears to be a club that needs to move its current 1B

Apparently Sox fans thought they might be the mystery team, but ESPN is reporting that Pujols is taking a 10-year offer from the Angels.

Going to the Angels for 10 yr $250 mil

damn...was really hoping the Phils were the mystery team and that Howard was being shipped to St. Louis. Oh well.

Money factor aside, it's smart of him to sign with an AL team where he might actually play out the life of that contract.

Granted I'm not too in the know with baseball contracts, but why would the Sox have to move Adrien Gonzalez?

ice grillin you · December 08, 2011, 10:37:40 AM

hes the best fielding first baseman in the majors and wouldnt wanna dh

they dont wanna go over the luxury tax

phattymatty · December 08, 2011, 10:43:32 AM

oh i thought that meant they were already trying to move him before pujols. that makes sense then.

BigEd76 · December 08, 2011, 11:33:09 AM

LA gave 5/$77.5M to Wilson too
