<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <!--quotec-->Albert Pujols said Thursday that he speaks regularly with Manny Ramirez and the free agent recently told him, "No one wants to sign me."
"I'm not an agent or general manager, but I can't understand how Manny has not signed," Pujols said. <b>"Maybe St. Louis doesn't have the money to sign him, but he could give them a discount because St. Louis is a great city that supports its players."</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

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.
