And just like that, the baseball universe is ready to say that Albert Pujols is leaving St. Louis.
In case you missed it, the Pujols "deadline" has come and gone. In spite of what some news organizations are reporting, contract talks between the Cardinals and Pujols haven't ended. The talks have simply been postponed until after the season, per Albert's request.
Don't take my word for it. Here's what Pujols' agent had to say earlier today:
"The expiration of today's deadline does not eliminate the possibility of Albert returning to the Cardinals in 2012, but simply delays negotiations until the conclusion of the Cardinals' season."
Will he re-sign with the Cards? Who the hell knows? However, I think it's just as likely as any other scenario, including a move to the Bronx.
Don't burn those #5 jerseys just yet Cardinal fans.
