Pujols plans to talk to Rasmus about reported trade requests

Reigning MVP Albert Pujols says he plans to talk to center fielder Colby Rasmus about his requests to be traded.

“I haven’t seen him but I’m going to say something to him” Pujols added. “I don’t think this is something that should have got into the paper. This is something that should have been between him and the manager and the GM. Plus, he needs to get more years in the league before he says something like that and disrespects the players.


“I have ten years in the league and that’s something that you are never going to hear me say. That’s disrespecting these guys around here. If I have a problem with the organization or the way the organization is handling something, I go right to the owners and the GM and say ‘Listen we need to fix this,’ but you can’t disrespect the players.”
