A) I don't think Pujols is who the Cubs are really after B) At 10 years, the Marlins would be punking themselves I'm perfectly fine with Pujols to the marlins, given the reported terms. 10 years with an opt out after 3 could be a brilliant move for them. Yeah, but aren't opt outs at the player's discretion far more often than not? Given the spot he could be in if he declines in the next few years, I don't see Albert going for a scenario where he doesn't have control over the length of his contract. A contract allowing the Marlins to opt out of his contract after 3 years would not be something I could see him or his agent agreeing to. The best the Marlins could hope for would be a limited NTC, imo. I think he is saying a 3 year opt for Albert. Who knows what's going on in 3 years maybe the Dodgers and Mets are financially back on their feet and he can sign an even bigger contract.
