After a 2010 free agent market that, aside from Cliff Lee, really was not all that impressive, the 2011 free agent market is starting to look incredible.
Albert Pujols talks with the St. Louis Cardinals are not going well, and the odds of him signing a contract before the noon deadline tomorrow is virtually nil. It has become known as well that CC Sabathia has an opt out clause in his contract, and can become a free agent after this season and look for more money elsewhere.
Having the best hitter of this era and one of the best pitchers of this era in the same free agent market will undoubtedly cause fireworks should it actually happen. Then again, both players could easily re-sign with their own teams and knock down this upcoming free agent class’s quality.
Which one of these two superstars is actually more likely to leave?
