St. Louis general manager John Mozeliak on Thursday admitted "surprise" to Albert Pujols' comments Wednesday in an interview with a Dominican radio station. Pujols told the station in his native country that he feels no urgency to enter talks regarding a possible contract extension the Cardinals hope would tie him to the franchise for the remainder of his career.
Pujols insisted during his radio interview that money won't be his primary focus when and if talks occur. He also told the station that he had referred Mozeliak to his lead agent, Dan Lozano, when Mozeliak approached him on the matter.
Pujols did not respond Thursday to an interview request made through his representation at Beverly Hills Sports Council.
