Diedre Pujols explains decision
ESPN.com news services
Albert Pujols' wife Diedre, in an interview with a radio station with ties to
the former St. Louis Cardinals slugger, said the couple was prepared to take
less money to stay in St. Louis, but were greatly disappointed when the team
initially offered him a five-year deal.
Thursday, Albert Pujols signed a 10-year, $254 million offer with the Los
Angeles Angels that contained no deferred money, as well as a 10-year
personal services contract following that deal. The Cardinals' last offer to
Pujols was for 10 years and $210 million, with $30 million deferred.
"The offer that people have seen on television I want to tell you what,
listeners especially, had that offer been given to us with a guarantee, we
would have the (Cardinals) bird on our back," Diedre Pujols told 99.1 Joy FM,
a St. Louis-area Christian station that received some of its initial funding
from Albert Pujols.
Diedre Pujols, speaking with interviewer Sandi Brown, who is her friend, said
the couple initially had no plans to ever leave St. Louis or the Cardinals,
the only team the first baseman had ever played for.
"When it all came down, I was mad. I was mad at God because I felt like all
the signs that had been being played out through the baseball field, our
foundation, our restaurant, the Down Syndrome Center, my relationships, my
home, my family close," Diedre Pujols told the station. "I mean, we had no
reason, not one reason, to want to leave. People were deceived by the
numbers."
She indicated the key moment was the Cardinals' initial offer of five years
and $130 million.
"When you have somebody say 'We want you to be a Cardinal for life' and only
offer you a five-year deal, it kind of confused us," Diedre Pujols said.
"Well, we got over that insult and felt like Albert had given so much of
himself to baseball and into the community ... we didn't want to go through
this again."
Diedre Pujols told the station the negative reaction in St. Louis over her
husband's decision to sign with the Angels has been striking.
"Albert has never lied. People are like 'Oh, we thought we knew who he was.'
Well, we thought we knew who they were," she told the station.
"The city of St. Louis has absolutely been deceived and I have never seen
hatred spread so fast and I understand why," she added. "Let me say that
Albert and I never, not one time, ever made plans to leave this city."
Diedre Pujols also said she had no ill will toward the Cardinals or owner
Bill DeWitt and that she understands the fans' frustration with her husband's
decision.
"It's just like God," she said at the end of the interview, "to put us on a
team called the Angels."
