Say goodbye to Albert Pujols St. Louis. The consensus “best player in baseball” has agreed to a 10-year, $254 million contract with the Los Angeles Angels.
Pujols was courted hard by the Cardinals and the Miami Marlins. Reports indicate the Redbirds offered nine years and more than $200 million to the star first-baseman. Meanwhile, the Marlins offered up to 10-years and $220 million.
However it was the Angels’ late run and open pocketboook secured Pujols’ services.
Pujols, 31, had played his entire career in St. Louis, putting together a Hall of Fame resume that includes a .328 average, .420 on-base percentage, 445 home runs and 1,329 runs batted in.
