It's either a brewing possibility or a brainchild of a complete gossip between two soccer moms discussing about men with exactly the same names. Reports of a Phillies-Cardinals negotiation to trade their respective star first basemen-Ryan Howard and Albert Pujols-gathered some steam enough to make the rounds on the web.
Clearly, Pujols is a way ahead of Howard when it comes to all-around performance although the reason seen for this "trade" is that Pujols might ask for the continent of Africa once he's a free agent after 2011. Certainly, it might rival that of A-Rod in 2007 when he was promised the whole nation of Bhutan as payment.
Phillies GM Ruben Amaro, in an article from ESPN.com, denied such kind of talks going on.
"That's a lie. I don't know who you're talking to, but that's a lie." Well, I think such a short retort is enough to convince me.
