St. Louis is unwilling to part with their young pitching for Erick Aybar, so it appears that the trade would be limited to Freese and Bourjos, plus whatever secondary pieces can be agreed upon.

Are the Angels assuming that Pujols' ability to produce has something to do with some type of synergy with Freese being across the diamond and vice versa?
Why would they want Freese?
