I normally dont vote at all on trades, but I feel I need to make an exception on this one. While I completely understand the salary dump and by all means do not disagree with it, I dont feel that this trade should be accepted as is. The trade is lopsided to Tampa Bay. If more prospects are sent to Colorado, I could agree to the trade but not enough is being sent to the Rockies. If someone of a Matt Moore was sent along I would by no means veto it. Pujols for 4yrs will still be solid, if it was Pujols for his 10yrs that would be different.
I agree pujols is overpayed but with all teams having $125M cap some teams will over pay of stars. The teams that have not built actual teams and instead go for the studs will drive up the prices. Just wait and see what Kemp gets at the end of FA. I bet he will be up over the $25M mark easily.This doesnt mean they are not worth the money, players, or prospects but the way the league is set up (which I like) this is how it plays out.
