Albert Pujols' Monster Contract With Angels Includes Numerous Perks, Including Season Tickets and Luxury SuitesAlbert Pujols' insane contract is even crazier than we thought.

In addition to the $240 million he's guaranteed over the next 10 years, the slugging first baseman will be receiving some nice little perks along the way.

Pujols will receive four season tickets to Angels home games, a hotel suite on road trips, a luxury suite at Angel Stadium of Anaheim for the Pujols Foundation for 10 games a year and the right to purchase a luxury suite between first base and third base for all home games.

In fact, Pujols' deal with the Angels is so complicated that it includes three separate agreements, according to ESPN.com. He reportedly has a playing contract, a marketing deal and an agreement to enter a 10-year, personal-services agreement following the playing contract's expiration or Pujols' retirement (whichever is later).

Pujols' contract also includes a number of milestone incentives. As part of the marketing agreement, he'll receive $3 million if he reaches 3,000 hits and $7 million if he breaks Barry Bonds' career home run record of 762.

Here are some of the other award bonuses Pujols could receive:

MVP: $500,000
MVP second or third place: $75,000
Gold Glove: $75,000
Silver Slugger: $75,000
All-Star election or selection: $50,000
World Series MVP: $100,000
ALCS MVP: $75,000
