Was it an absurd amount of money? Sure...BUT, talents like A-Rod don't hit the free agent market like that often.
Nothing to do with the players. I bring it up because of the owner situations and what the ultimate fate was for Tom Hicks and how bad Loria has looked with his dealings and now with the stadium deal.
Angels looking at Pujols.
