“While the genesis of the Angels’ binge will reveal itself in the coming days, what struck most was Moreno’s forceful renunciation of his abhorrence for high-dollar, long-term deals – or, as one official put it, “He’s such a hypocrite.” Rarely does hypocrisy cost so much. In dollars for Moreno. In reputation for Pujols. In tears for St. Louis. Pujols said, and repeated, that he wanted to be a “Cardinal for life.” The price of his word, it seems, is about $35 million – the difference between what the Cardinals offered and the Angels paid.”
