Where is Pujols playing next year?

I personally think it's a huge mistake to give him what he'll probably get(close to 8-9'ish years, $250 mil).

I've heard rumors of the Nationals, Angels, and even Marlins being interested in him, but by far the biggest two names being thrown around are the Cubs and Cardinals.

I think he'll either end up with the Nats or stay in STL.

Cubs have a better shot at Fielder IMO.

ehhh doubt it. they need starting pitching more and they've gotta save money for Ryan Zimmerman's extension. We can't afford to have something like $50+ million locked up in Pujols and Werth when Strasburg is up for a new contract as well.

If the Nationals make a splash it'll be for CJ Wilson.

as a cubs fan, I would rather have Fielder.

Ditto.

I'll take the younger guy here, Pujols is amazing though, but the Cubs need a lot of work and aren't in a win now place.

I hope he stays in STL, I hate the Cubs play him all the time but I love to see players staying with one club their whole career.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
