Breaking News: Albert Pujols traded to the Milwaukee Brewers!
« on: October 24, 2009, 05:16:18 PM »
Earlier this afternoon the St. Louis Cardinals and division rival Milwaukee Brewers agreed to a blockbuster trade, sending perennial MVP candidate Albert Pujols to the Brewers.  In return, the Cardinals received five blue-chip prospects that will form a foundation for the post-Albert era.

Brewers Send:
CI Carter, Chris, $0.5m (P-n/a)
CI Gamel, Mat, $0.5m (P-n/a)
P Perez, Martin, $0.5m (P-n/a)
P Rondon, Hector, $0.5m (P-n/a)
C Santana, Carlos, $0.5m (P-n/a)

Cardinals Send:
CI Pujols, Albert, $14.5m (2010)
5th round pick in 2010

While acquiring Cliff Lee, Andre Ethier and Pedro Martinez were key moves for the Brewers run at a title last season, a lesser noticed but possibly more important accomplishment was the stockpiling top-notch prospects at little cost.  Today, 5 of those prospects were moved for the league's best player, Albert Pujols.  The move carries a substantial risk for the Brewers as the are heavily investing in a single player, but Pujols is the best of his generation and certainly warrants the risk.

Albert's current contract has only one year remaining; however, sources are saying the Brewers have already started discussions with his agent regarding an extension that would keep him a Brewer for the foreseeable future.  The two sides expect to reach an agreement before the conclusion of the 2010 season.

Trade confirmed.  The Cardinals need to build an at present non-existent farm system.  We are sacrificing this season in order to be competitive in the future.  Other veterans are available.

Good job to you both. That's how Championships are won. Oh, and teams built. I wonder if I could get the same haul for Vazquez, lol.

This is by far the biggest move made so far in this league.  I can see the Cardinals side of this as they could pick up a replacement CI that produces 60% of the level of Pujols at 1/3 the price and then they pick up Gamel and Santana to replace part of their infield in the coming years.  Time will tell....

  • Daddy: Looks like its ready but the SS isnt finished and we cant do transactions till we finish.
    May 21, 2024, 10:04:25 PM
  • Daddy: Its not like the others. Its got NHL/AHL and formulas need perfected.
    May 21, 2024, 10:04:56 PM
  • Daddy: A lot of LIVE GMs came after i had won in football and built a monster in baseball. Many of you weren't there for the start. Like STLBlues. Like Braves. So you talk smack to the old Man (me).
    May 21, 2024, 10:09:00 PM
  • Daddy: I cannot wait to start these virgin leagues. So that (you too BAB) can get your deserved foots from day one. :)

  • Brent: I don't know Hockey, but NHL Live sounds good.  I probably shouldn't have left FGM as I have a little more time than I thought after leaving a bunch of other leagues.
    May 21, 2024, 10:38:24 PM
  • STLBlues91: Think there are 3 more teams left until NHL gets filled up
    May 21, 2024, 10:40:10 PM
  • Daddy: Four (4) NY Islanders >> Nashville Predators >> Ottawa Senators >> LA Kings
    May 21, 2024, 10:50:47 PM
  • Daddy: They each had owners who uncommitted two of them went to other sites to try to copy the concept. Problem is no Daddy, no staff,  no LIVE.
    May 21, 2024, 10:52:54 PM
  • Daddy: Nobody on Earth does hockey like we are about to do it. Its a shame 28 teams are gone without most of the true profsl hockey guys signing up. That's a huge loss. For them.
    May 21, 2024, 10:54:45 PM
  • Daddy: If you love hockey and you love dynasty and you arent in LIVE than you must hate me or competition more than you love the others. Which is petty & not worth our efforts anyway.
    May 21, 2024, 10:56:10 PM
  • Daddy: NHL LIVE Spreadsheet [link] should be available to be seen.
    May 21, 2024, 11:35:31 PM
  • Daddy: @Brent we sincerely hope that you do join as a HOF level dynasty GM. The rules and a lot of format carry over from one LIVE league to another.
    May 21, 2024, 11:56:46 PM
  • Daddy: We believe that even if you don't know a sport well, we provide the material, and enough guidance advice that any disadvantages are minimized. Hockey is one of the greatest sports of all time.
