Contrary to rumors elsewhere, with Albert Pujols in St. Louis and owning a $100 million, seven-year contract that goes through 2010, there is no chance the Cardinals will pursue the Twins' Torii Hunter, a potential free agent who can expect offers of about $70 million for five years.

The Chicago White Sox remain a leading suitor for Hunter.
