The Cardinals would love to use Joe Mauer's deal as a model for Albert Pujols' next contract. But nobody we've talked to thinks they have a prayer of getting that wish granted.
"I don't see any way Pujols gives the Cardinals that kind of discount," said an official of one big-market club. "Everything I hear is that he's looking for A-Rod money, and I think he'll get it -- because he'll get it on the open market if the Cardinals don't find a way to do it. But obviously, they will. You don't give Matt Holliday the kind of money they gave him and then turn around and not give Albert Pujols what he wants."
