It doesn't sound like Albert Pujols’ representatives are going to be shy in
their negotiations with the Cardinals. There are early indications that
Pujols and agent Dan Lozano have used Alex Rodriguez’s ten-year $275MM
contract as the lone point of reference in discussions for a potential
extension, according to Jon Heyman of SI.com.
However, the Cardinals “are said to have initially suggested a contract that
would guarantee Pujols at least a bit less than $200MM,” Heyman writes.
Heyman’s sources believe the Cardinals would prefer not to guarantee Pujols
more than seven years. One person said the Cards could offer a seven-year,
$196MM deal. Other insiders suggest the team could agree to a $30MM annual
salary or a ten-year deal, but not both.
Most people Heyman surveyed suggest Pujols won’t top $250MM if he signs an
extension, since he is not negotiating on the open market and since the
Yankees and Red Sox have established first basemen.

month or so. Lozano set a Spring Training deadline for a possible extension.
If the sides don’t reach a deal, the three-time MVP will hit free agency
after the coming season. As I explained here, A-Rod money is not an
unreasonable target for Pujols.
