The Los Angeles Dodgers shocked the MLB world on Saturday afternoon when it was reported that they agreed to a Major League deal with Albert Pujols for the remainder of the 2021 season. Jorge Castillo was first to break the news.
Pujols was unceremoniously released by the Los Angeles Angels two weeks ago in order to make room for Jared Walsh to play first base and Shohei Ohtani to DH.
