Cardinals sign Albert Pujols to a 30 year deal worth $42.6 Billion, with an option year and incentives that could make the deal worth an extra $17billion, plus ownership of the Moon and a lifetime supply of Budweiser.

Easily. Yikes. Help. Mommy.
Wonder what the market is for an overweight, 43 year old righty that throws in the high 60′s at best and can crank out a decent knuckleball once in a while (that be me)? I’d sign for 1/100th of that.

I would say the bidding starts at 8 years, with him likely getting 10. Don’t want to go into free agency at 38/39, just ask Jeter (granted he’s a year younger).
