Well before the Los Angeles Dodgers completed a blockbuster trade to acquire Max Scherzer and Trea Turner, they pulled off another stunner with the signing of Albert Pujols after he was released by the L.A. Angels.
On Saturday, Turner and Pujols hit two of the Dodgers’ three solo home runs off Rich Hill in a 4-3 win over the Mets. It was Turner’s first homer since being traded to the Dodgers. Meanwhile, Pujols’ blast was more of the same production he’s provided against left-handed pitching.
The future Hall of Famer has garnered endless praise from all members of the Dodgers organization, and that’s now extended to one of his newer teammates.
