The Miami Marlins Have Reportedly Offered Albert Pujols 9 Years and $225 million
According to Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports, the Miami Marlins would like to furnish their shiny new stadium with former Cardinals worldly first baseman Albert Pujols, and have apparently offered the tighty-whities wearing slugger a 9 year, $225 million contract. The big bucks would still fall short of making him the highest paid player in the game, but the possibility of Jose Reyes, Pujols and Hanley Ramirez residing in the same lineup to go along with Logan Morrison’s humorous tweets and Ozzie Guillen’s unintentionally hilarious tweets sure sounds like fun and, more importantly, easy to root against.
More to come as we hear it.

They’ll still struggle to get 15,000 to a game.
November 16th, 2011 at 12:01 PM
9 years? Wowzer.
November 16th, 2011 at 12:03 PM
The Marlins would have a hell of a team with that lineup. Depending on Josh Johnson’s recovery, they could be really good.
I think Pujols would draw fans. They didn’t show up for Heat games, but the Latino community that Miami is primarily comprised of is more attracted to baseball anyways.
November 16th, 2011 at 12:03 PM
The Marlins are trying to follow the Heat’s gameplan to fun and profit and almost-titles.
November 16th, 2011 at 12:04 PM
I think Pujols would draw fans. They didn’t show up for Heat games, but the Latino community that Miami is primarily comprised of is more attracted to baseball anyways.
And it’s definitely showed over the last few seasons.
November 16th, 2011 at 12:05 PM
They sucked. There also wasn’t the star power of an Albert Pujols.
November 16th, 2011 at 12:07 PM
If the Marlins sign Reyes does Hanley move to third or outfield. Also, the Tribe will take Gaby Sanchez or LoMo.
November 16th, 2011 at 12:08 PM
Third
November 16th, 2011 at 12:09 PM
No way in hell should STL come close to matching that. Put Berkman at first, hope Freese and Craig stay healthy and take a step forward, and use the money they would have spent on another outfielder and pitcher.
November 16th, 2011 at 12:11 PM
as long as 1 of those 15K is that ugg wearing douchebag from the heat games we will all be better for it.
November 16th, 2011 at 12:12 PM
They sucked. There also wasn’t the star power of an Albert Pujols.
The Astros have also sucked over the years mentioned by managed to pull in nearly twice as many per night on average.
And that’s in a city that loves football much more than baseball.

The Cardinals at least have that going for them…if Pujols leaves, Berkman, while nowhere near Pujols in value, is not a bad option to put at first instead.
November 16th, 2011 at 12:14 PM
So people in Houston are stupid.
November 16th, 2011 at 12:14 PM
I think the combo of star power and a new stadium would cause a decent rise in attendance.
November 16th, 2011 at 12:17 PM
1997 all over again

Little long for a guy who is probably 5 years older than he claims to be.
November 16th, 2011 at 12:18 PM
Houston also has a stadium that isn’t horrible, and the new Marlins park is in Little Havana now, instead of in the middle of nowhere.
November 16th, 2011 at 12:19 PM
To be fair, that stadium sucked for baseball and is in the middle of nowhere.
November 16th, 2011 at 12:21 PM

Fine, the Pirates then. Just as shitty as the Marlins. Yes they also have a beautiful easy to get to stadium, but they also haven’t had the success that the Marlins have had since 1997. In fact the Pirates haven’t had any success at anything in nearly 20 years.
November 16th, 2011 at 12:21 PM
i don’t buy the latino link for a pujols signing. dude is as hispanic as taco bell
November 16th, 2011 at 12:22 PM
Bullshit. We were in 1st place before the all star break.
November 16th, 2011 at 12:22 PM
Jesus Christ. I just read the description of their new ballpark and it basically is the stadium equivalent of Flyguy’s aquarium shoes from I’m Gonna Git You Sucka. Horrible.
November 16th, 2011 at 12:22 PM

This is beautiful. I might steal this from you.

but the Latino community that Miami is primarily comprised of is more attracted to baseball anyways.
Everyone’s been counting on the Miami Latinos to show up en masse and support the Marlins since before the Marlins were created. They’re into baseball but they’re likely more into the Yankees or the Red Sox or whomever.
And no team has yet to address the simple fact that the Miami teams don’t draw well because folks in Miami live in Miami and have so many other things to do to have fun — party, club, beach, porn, party.

I must have missed the mid-season trophy ceremony.

My point exactly. Well said Fredo.

He does bring the hot Latino temper to the diamond though.

They deserved some trophy because they got me watching baseball games after tax season. That right there is a miracle.

Not half, not some, but all my cash
‘Cause if she don’t,
I’m gonna put my foot in her ass.

The only reason the Florida teams haven’t been contracted is because transplanted East Coasters want to see their teams when they come to town
November 16th, 2011 at 12:39 PM
Sounds like the perfect way to celebrate to me

Move over L.A., Miami is now the Douchebag Capital of the World.

Grew up in Dominican Republic, moved to US when he was 16, went to high school in KC.

November 16th, 2011 at 1:22 PM
That’s a lot of cheese.
November 16th, 2011 at 1:23 PM
Hanley will be traded
You hear that Ryan? I will pray to the all powerful Baby Jebus for this to happen. I can’t see them keeping Reyes and Ramirez and both guys being cool with this. Ramirez has been complaining there for a while and I see them shipping him off soon.
November 16th, 2011 at 1:28 PM
Hanley has been quoted as saying he wants Reyes to join the Marlins.
November 16th, 2011 at 1:33 PM
Hanley’s quote on Reyes:
“I think he’s a really good player. Everybody knows that. This organization needs him. It’s good when you see the front office put the best team they can on the field.”
November 16th, 2011 at 1:43 PM

Wow that is surprising to me. I thought I heard something completely different.
