Sports Illustrated reported that the Angels had a big advantage in chasing Pujols, after signing a new TV deal that raised television revenues by $100 million per year.

Pujols isn't the only ball player set to reportedly join the halos. Texas lefty C.J. Wilson has accepted a five-year $77.5 million deal with Anaheim, MLB.com reported Thursday.

I don’t think Billy Beane would have made this deal...

Two aspects of Pujols’ career that may have interesting implications for this deal: (1) questions about steroid/HGH use, and (2) questions about how old the guy actually is (I’ve seen some posts on sports blogs indicating that he may be older than the 31/32 years he claims he is).
