Boras: My client gets $25 mil a year for three years, not a penny less.
Cardinals GM: But...but...Mr. Boras, St. Louis is such a great town!
Narrator: Just then, Boras' heart, which had been three sizes too small grew three sizes too big!
Boras: <a single tear trickles down his cheek> You know...I think maybe I've lost sight of why I became an agent in the first place. It's not about my clients the biggest contracts possible! It's about helping great players play in great cities...cities with great people.

Pujols is so damn retarded. If baseball had nothing to do where he plays...WHY would Manny choose muggy, drab St. Louis over Hollywood?
What a dumbass suggestion. If Pujols had a brain and some balls, he'd adjust his contract to open funds for Manny like Larry Fitzgerald wants to do for Anquan Boldin, <b><i>that's</i></b> what team players/captains do.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Pretty sure the MLB players union won't allow a player to adjust his contract to lessen the amount received, unlike the NFL.

Maybe he was saying that he could defer a portion of his salary for a couple of years (or for however long Manny signs) so they could afford him. Of course, that would make his salary ginormous at the end of his contract. As long as he's getting paid the same amount, would the players union care?

Probably. I was just saying that if he wants him so bad, he should think about taking one for the team since he's courting Manny himself.
Plus, Manny will never work in STL. Tony wouldn't take it.
