According to SI.com’s Jon Heyman (he will be moving to CBS Sports soon), the Miami Marlins have offered former St. Louis Cardinal first baseman Albert Pujols a 10-year contract. Heyman didn’t shed light into what the average annual value would be, 10 years is a lot of boxes of ziti to be playing out to a player who is “31-years-old.”

If this is indeed the case, the Marlins would essentially be paying for seven years of Pujols’ services. I don’t think it is realistic for him to play into his 40′s. But man, if the Marlins land Pujols, they should be scary good in 2012 and beyond.
