In a somewhat surprising move, the Angels have released Albert Pujols yesterday. Pujols, who was in the last year of his contract, was a fan favorite, and it’s somewhat upsetting to see the Angels treat him this way. Yes, the Angels have been struggling, but they cannot blame it all on the rough start that Pujols has had.

While I’m not a big fan of the Cardinals, and I was more than a little perturbed by them not trying to keep Pujols around, I do think they should offer a short contract to him so that he may return home and play in front of the crowd that always loved him.
