Right. Arte may have picked the wrong year to have his highest payroll, considering the $150M he may not get from Bally.

Arte *will* be receiving the personal services that he is owed.

Let him get some hacks in so the MIFers can get plenty of work on turning double plays. Thank you Tio Albert!

It would be awesome to see him as a peanut vendor at Spring Training. Kind of like Ben Affleck doing the drive thru window, just to see how many people recognize Mang in the vendor outfit.

Gross.

[3pitchwalk]

great news.

he can teach the team how not to stay in shape, how to hit into the most double plays that you possibly can, how great st. louis is, and how the league will ignore you're juiced if you're a legend in your last year.

Keep him the F away from Ohtani.  Mang will whisper things like money = respect, and to take the high bid.

He should have to make his way up from stadium janitor to peanut vendor to concession cashier to ??? to owner.

You joke, but now that he's no longer playing he'll probably show up at 215 pounds with a body fat percentage of 0.5.

I thought when he signed with us that the Marlins offered more?

Did they?   I just remember we outbid the Cards, and Moreno gave that personal service contract afterwards.

Yeah, I think it was an extra year, maybe two, and obviously more money.

The personal services contract was a nice loophole. The Nationals did that with Ryan Zimmerman and then MLB banned it for circumventing the salary cap.

Dude got divorced so he finally has some real motivation to get in shape.

The personal-services deal essentially gives the Angels exclusive rights to Pujols during the first 10 years of his retirement. When asked if it would preclude Pujols from doing similar work for the St. Louis Cardinals, the team Pujols starred with for 11 years before signing with the Angels, Carpino said, “Possibly.”

 

This was from an LA times article last November. The article also stated that Pujols can terminate the contract at any time.

That makes it sound like he's their indentured servant.

We could rent him out to the Cards.
