I have no sympathy for the "Pujols last games as a Cardinal" thing. Both Albert and Prince were offered large contracts early on, and refused them. Albert probably cost himself a lot of money, as his season numbers did not match his previous performance. It's hard to figure where either of these guys will go. Most of the high-payroll teams are already committed to large multi-year contracts for their current first basemen. The Cubs, you say? Neither of these guys wants to go to a place where losing is practically guaranteed.
