Albert Pujols News
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman/designated hitter Albert Pujols will serve as the DH on Opening Day on Thursday, April 7, against the Pittsburgh Pirates and starter JT Brubaker. The future Hall of Famer will return to the team that he started his career with for one last season. The 42-year-old doesn't have much fantasy appeal at this stage in his career, but he'll occasionally be worth a look as a low-cost DFS play in good matchups like the one he has on Opening Day. In 109 games with the Los Angeles Angels and Los Angeles Dodgers last year, Pujols hit .236/.284/.433 with 17 home runs, 50 RBI and 29 runs scored in 296 plate appearances in a part-time role.
Future Hall of Fame first baseman Albert Pujols signed a one-year contract with the St. Louis Cardinals this past weekend. Following the signing, he spoke with reporters and stated, "This is it for me. This is my last run." 2022 will be Pujols' 22nd season in the majors. The 42-year-old spent the first 11 years of his career with the Cardinals before signing with the Los Angeles Angels. It's certainly poetic to see the long-time Cardinal close things out as a member of the franchise he made his name with. He'll likely play a bench role for the Cardinals this year while making some starts at designated hitter. The slugger played in 109 games last year and slashed .236/.284/.433 with 17 home runs, 50 RBI and 29 runs.
The St. Louis Cardinals finalized a one-year, $2.5 million deal with free-agent first baseman Albert Pujols on Sunday, according to sources. Pujols is expected to arrive in Jupiter, Florida, this week. The 42-year-old future Hall of Famer has come full circle and will sign with the team that he began his illustrious career with. Now at the very end of his career, Pujols will serve as a right-handed bat off the bench for the Cardinals after hitting .236/.284/.433 with 17 home runs, 50 RBI and 29 runs scored in 109 games with the Los Angeles Angels and Los Angeles Dodgers last year. Pujols made nine All-Star teams while playing for St. Louis from 2001-11 to begin his career.
