TOlbert Pujols has a new MLB contract. The first baseman was officially introduced with the Dodgers to stay in the same city that has seen him shine in the last years for the remainder of the season.
It was on social networks that the agreement between the two was confirmed on Monday and will be available for the match against Arizona in the evening. In addition, Pujols promised to help the team endorse the crown.
“First, I would like to thank God for the opportunity He has given me to play this game. While this is not how I thought my time in Anaheim would end, I am truly grateful for the memories and friendships that have been created over the past 10 years. Thank you to my teammates and Angels fans everywhere for your support. You will always occupy a special place in my heart. While everyone in the big leagues wants to compete every day, I understand that roles change and that is something that I have accepted for the past few years.
“The role that I have been presented Andrew Friedman and Dave Roberts is one that I accept. I am excited to be a part of the Dodgers family and I want to thank Andrew, Dave and the rest of the Dodgers organization for this opportunity. My goal is the same as always: to help the club win a championship in 2021. I have seen up close how talented this team is and I look forward to contributing. “
Pujols’ arrival is just as the Dodgers are going through a critical moment with injuries, especially that of Corey Seager, who will be out for at least a month.
