I don't know how but I think they will. St. Louis fans would burn that stadium and city down if they let Pujols leave. He is a god there.

They'll have like half of their total payroll tied up in two players. Unless they're planning on upping their payroll by a lot, I don't see how they can afford both of those guys. Unless Pujols agrees to a steep hometown discount, I can't figure it out.
