While I was reading that, I was thinking that the Cubs did indeed put themselves in an ideal position to acquire Pujols for 2012 and beyond when they inked Pena's one-year contract. But now I'm thinking that they may just be posturing in order to drive Pujols' price up for the Cards, when they really have no intention of signing such a contract. Then, before the ink is even dry on his ten-year, $270m deal, Hendry is going to leak a birth certificate proving Pujols' real age, 38.
