With Cardinals legend Stan Musial poised to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the White House on Tuesday, St. Louis asked for and was granted a one-day extension by Albert Pujols as he and the team continue to try and hammer out a new contract, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Monday.Pujols had set the beginning of spring training as the deadline for contract extension negotiations, not wanting them to become a distraction to him and the team as the 2011 season approaches. Instead, he'll go one day into it in deference to Musial.
The Cardinals and their three-time MVP have never appeared close to an agreement during this offseason, so it seems unlikely that this stay of execution will result in much positive progress in the negotiations.
