Albert Pujols released: Remembering the wonder of the baseball legend

May 6, 2021
The end of greatness is often so horrid as to invoke pathos. Ken Griffey Jr., hitting .184, drove away from the Mariners one night without a word to anyone. Mike Schmidt, hitting .203, suddenly quit on a road trip, and mentioned the one thing he would miss about Major League Baseball: room service french fries. Babe Ruth, hitting .181, feuding with the Boston Braves owner and hobbling on an achy knee, said he knew it was time to go when he played a single into a triple in left field at Baker Bowl in Philadelphia.
Albert Pujols, the greatest hitter of his generation and the best first baseman since Lou Gehrig, was designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday with a .198 batting average. Pujols had been a .300 career hitter ever since his fifth game in the big leagues. It fell below .300 20 years later on the second day of last season. Hitting .218 since then, he left the Angels—and probably baseball for good—at .298.

The Angels Finally Bite the Bullet by Cutting Albert Pujols

May 7, 2021
The news was as abrupt as a mid-afternoon tweet, and yet long overdue: On Thursday, the Angels designated Albert Pujols for assignment. The 41-year-old Pujols is a no-doubt Hall of Famer, one of four players to attain the dual milestones of 3,000 hits and 600 home runs. But he’s now a month into his fifth season of sub-replacement level production, an impediment to improving a team that needs all the help it can get to overcome a league-worst defense as it scrambles to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2014.
Mired in a 7-for-43 slump on a 13–17 team, Pujols is hitting just .198/.250/.372 with five homers and a 75 wRC+ in 92 plate appearances and making $30 million in the final season of the 10-year, $240 million deal that he signed following a remarkable 11-year run with the Cardinals. With his body unable to withstand a litany of leg and foot injuries — hamstrings, knees, plantar fasciitis — his megadeal provided little bang for the buck. Where he made nine All-Star teams and won three MVP awards as well as the NL Rookie of the Year award in St. Louis while helping the Cardinals to three pennants and two championships, he never approached such levels in Anaheim. As an Angel, he made just one All-Star team, finished no higher than 17th in the MVP voting, and was swept out of his lone playoff appearance.

Could the Royals bring in Albert Pujols?

This week, the Los Angeles Angels designated slugger Albert Pujols for assignment, and he will most assuredly clear waivers and become a free agent soon. The three-time MVP will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and he currently has 3,253 career hits, 667 home runs, and the third-most RBI ever with 2,112.
However, at 41 years old, Pujols does not want to retire and feels he still has something left in the tank. Pujols attended Fort Osage High School and Maple Woods Community College in the Kansas City area. He was also teammates with current Royals manager Mike Matheny from 2001 to 2004 and still lives in the St. Louis area. Could the Royals bring him in?

BASEBALL: Angels release future Hall of Famer, former Fort Osage star Albert Pujols

Updated: 2:40 PM CDT May 6, 2021
The Associated Press
Albert Pujols -- the former Fort Osage High School star -- has been designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Angels, abruptly ending the 41-year-old superstar slugger's decade with his second major league team.The Angels announced the move Thursday, a day after Pujols wasn't in their lineup for their fourth consecutive loss. He was in the final season of a 10-year contract with Los Angeles.Pujols is fifth in major league history with 667 career homers, and he is 13th in major league history with 3,253 hits. The oldest active player in the majors, he is batting .198 this season with five homers and 12 RBIs.Pujols joined the Angels in late 2011 after 11 successful seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals. He won three NL MVP awards and two World Series rings in St. Louis while establishing himself as one of the greatest sluggers of his generation.Angels owner Arte Moreno persuaded Pujols to leave for the West Coast with a lavish $240 million contract, but the Angels have not won a playoff game during the concurrent tenures of Pujols and three-time AL MVP Mike Trout at the heart of their lineup.Pujols hasn't performed at a level commensurate with his pay for many years, although Moreno knew the consequences of such a long contract. Pujols is making $30 million in salary this season in the final year of the deal.Pujols played baseball at Fort Osage High School in Independence and was named an all-state athlete twice. As a senior, he was walked 55 times intentionally, but he still hit eight home runs in 33 at bats. After graduating from high school a semester early in December 1998, he was given a baseball scholarship to Maple Woods Community College. Pujols hit a grand slam and turned an unassisted triple play in the first game of his only college season. Playing shortstop, he batted .461 with 22 home runs as a freshman before deciding to enter the MLB draft.Related video: Why Are Albert Pujols' Accomplishments Overlooked?

How Tigers' Akil Baddoo's first 10 games track with some modern greats

It’s easy to get caught up in the hype of a prospect making his major-league debut, especially when their narrative is as improbable as Akil Baddoo’s — Rule 5 draft pick, home run on his first pitch, sent from a dying planet to fight for truth, justice and the Ilitch-ian way, etc. — has been for the Detroit Tigers.
And, indeed, the results from his first 10 games — still a small sample size, but one that covers more than a hot weekend, at least — are impressive: 10-for-31 with two doubles, a triple, four homers, 11 RBIs and even a steal. His 11 strikeouts and only one walk, though, are less Superman and more Clark Kent.
