Nice to know it was all about the money.

But $260 mil as a lot of money.

Well he will remain in red and probably play in St Louis 2 or 3 more times in his career...

I'm mad that he's no longer a Cardinal, but I would be pissed if the Cardinals gave him that money.

For $250+ m, anybody can take him, I really don't care. I can't say I'm angry with Albert, though, I can't say that I'd turn down a quarter of a billion dollars. I'm just happy we're not the ones coughing up that dough.

good for him. probably the best place for him. He got his money. That's what he wanted.

I hope he never gets a statue retired in front of Busch though and I hope some utility middle infield wears #5 next year.

Really you'd only be turning down $50M.

Wow, really didn't expect that one. Well, let's hope Berkman holds up this year and that Matt Adams explodes in 2013
