On the morning of January 19th, I started collecting links – as many as I can find with minimal effort – that discuss the Albert Pujols contract discussions. Why? Who knows, yet here they are. Oh, and to serve you all, our three loyal readers! The Daily Pujols certainly won’t be a comprehensive list, but between local, national, and blog coverage, maybe you’ll find something here you otherwise wouldn’t. Without further delay, here is today’s Daily Pujols…
Local
Brian Walton says at TheCardinalNationBlog.com that Pujols’ contract situation is going to be a top story for the team in 2011. Anyone want to argue?
Hooks and crew are teasing a big Pujols scoop at Cards Diaspora. I think the Sign Guy is due to break the scoop on Monday morning, but stay tuned…

National

River Avenue Blues’ Mike Axisa addresses the Pujols question from the Yankees’ fan’s point of view – and the answer may or may not surprise you. Many have suspected the Yankees may be out of the Pujols sweepstakes because of their current players at positions Pujols would occupy and other contracts already on the payroll. Axisa articulates that as well as the concern that some have expressed in St. Louis, that a huge deal for Albert will become a weight around the neck of the club signing it with Pujols.
