(AP) -- Guess $240 million wasn't quite enough for Albert Pujols.

In addition to his salary, the Los Angeles Angels are giving the slugger four season tickets to home games over the next decade.

Those details were contained in the terms of his deal that was filed Thursday with Major League Baseball and the players' association.
      Other perks include:
      -hotel suite on road trips.
      -luxury suite at the ballpark for the Pujols Foundation, his charitable group, for 10 home games a year.
      -right to buy a luxury suite between first base and third base for all home games.


Pujols could make up to $268.75 million over 20 years.

That includes $875,000 in possible award bonuses each year for accomplishments such as Most Valuable Player, World Series and league championship series MVP, Gold Glove and Silver Slugger, and making the All-Star team.
