I like the Fielder contract better than the Pujols contract. In the former, if things go well, the steep performance decline comes at the end of the contract. In the latter, even if things go well, the steep performance decline probably comes in the middle of the contract.
GM Mozeliak had a presser at Winter Warm-Up, a January event where people pay a lot of money for players' autographs. He explained the economics of letting the franchise player walk, and people applauded him. Hard to imagine that in New York or Boston.
