MILWAUKEE – When Albert Pujols entered free agency after the 2011 season, he was the best player in the sport and he led the St. Louis Cardinals to a pair of World Series titles.
As expected, he drew a ton of interest from teams during free agency and, according to USA Today, the Reds were runner-up in the Pujols sweepstakes. The Reds offered a 10-year, $225 million contract, which was below the 10-year, $240 million deal Pujols signed with the Los Angeles Angels.
