(Rumor) -- Sox pursuing Pujols?

Cards also are running into $ issues and are very concerned about losing Pujols due to $ (turned down 5-year / $60mm or something like that); I believe he's arbitration-eligible after this year and could be a big $#.

He's elegible now and he'll set the new record for 3rd year players (If I'm not wrong he requested 10.5 Mi and the Cards offered 8 Mi), but he stays under team control for more three years.
Of couse if he signs a long term with the Cards he'll be very well paid but IMO that won't come even close to A-Rod's deal.

Firstly, Boston Dirtdogs is not a credible website. Secondly, there is no way the Cards would do that deal.

It's not a BDD.com story. Maybe you should read a thread before posting in it. Helps build credibility.

Any rumor that starts on the internet is hardly reliable regardless of which one.
