Really? Pujols for Howard?
Thursday, March 18th, 2010Apparently, the Phillies and Cardinals had “trade conversations” about Ryan Howard for Albert Pujols. How crazy can that be?
Not as crazy as you think. If the Cards already decided they can’t pay Pujols the Matt Holliday+1 salary they’ll have to pay him, then it would make sense for them to try and move him for a player of the same caliber. Let’s face it, if the Cardinals ever traded Pujols they would get an amazing amount of talent back. That’s why the price would be Ryan Howard.
