Over at Circling the Bases, Craig Calcaterra speculates on negotiations between Albert Pujols and the St. Louis Cardinals. I just don't understand why. I suppose negotiating an extension this offseason makes some sense; it would probably be Albert's last giant contract, and getting it inked soon mitigates the risk of catastrophic injury. Also, it gives the Cardinals cost-certainty going forward. The Cardinals won't like paying two players about $45 million a year, but at least they'll know what they have to play with.
