Pujols 'disappointed' by negotiations

According to Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, sources close to Albert Pujols are saying that the slugger has grown disappointed at the slow pace of long-term contract negotiations with the Cardinals.
We're a little disappointed, too, to be honest. Or, at least frustrated. The two sides got to talking about a new extension over a month ago and they probably already know where each other stand. The Cardinals are either going to hand over one of the richest contracts in the history of professional sports, or they're going to allow Pujols to test the free agent waters next winter. Albert is thought to be seeking a deal similar to the 10-year, $275 million pact that Alex Rodriguez is currently working under with the Yankees. The first baseman wants talks to cease once spring training begins.
