"Both sides say they don't want to talk during the season but depending on the circumstances, I think they're going to," Passan told told Spiegel and Rozner on Hit & Run. "It just makes sense."
Having the deadline for Pujols' contract at spring training was a chance for the Cardinals to show where they were at with their thinking.
"Obviously it was not to [Pujols' and his agent's] liking," Passan said. "Albert Pujols' PR spin the day after, the day that he reported to camp, was incredible."The Yahoo Sports writer continued to say "There's no way that he's happy that they're offering him to be the fourth best paid player at his position, yet alone in baseball."
