Albert Pujols didn’t have to move very far after his release from the LA Angels.
The two-time World Series Champion, Albert Pujols will be staying in Los Angeles and playing for the LA Dodgers.
Many thought that it would be best for Pujols to head to the American League, where he would have more chances to play more consistently with AL lineups batting a Designated Hitter.
