Marlins offer a ten year deal to Pujols

Reports surfaced  that the Miami Marlins offered Pujols a tenth year. The contract would be for at least $200 million and possibly as high as $220 million. No one should be giving Pujols more than 6 years.

Is Pujols the best player in the game? Yes. However, Alex Rodriguez was just like Pujols. No one imagined A-Rod's rapid decline, however, the Yankees are stuck with him nonetheless.

A-Rod has six more years and $123 million left on his contract.

For Pujols, a ten year deal would end when he is 41 years old. That's the same year A-Rod's contract ends. A-Rod is only 35 years old, and his contract is a detriment to his team. Teams should learn from the Yankee's mistakes. Don't sign players to contracts over 6 years.
