Awkward.   Maybe he’ll work in PR, perhaps as liaison to AW. Then Chuckster interviews Pujols with a list of questions developed and selected by the board.

And the first interview with Albert will be teased with the phrase "Announcement Forthcoming."

He could stand outside the stadium saying "Look at me, I'm a first ballot Hall of Famer! Would you like a copy of my career stats?"

Please just go away and leave us alone. Enough pain already. Ten years of occupying space on our roster. 

Will he be allowed to shake hands with fans / aw members?

Albert is no dummy and he knows the Angels don't want him around.

But he's also not going to leave 10 million dollars on the table, that would be foolish.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a quiet buyout of this and Albert not having anything to do with the Angels in retirement. 

Exactly this.

10 more years of nothing-worthwhile-from-Albert sounds awesome!

 

Albert - don't go away mad... just go away...

 

And quit sponging money off my Halos...

Ironically his WAR might be higher in these first 10 years of retirement than in his 9+ years as a player.

Pretty sure they'd have to pay him the full $10M to go away.  MLBPA doesn't support buyouts of contracted amounts for less than the guaranteed value, as far as I know.  (That said, I've long felt that they'd just pay him the money and be done with it.)

Not really sure why people seem certain Pujols wouldn't want anything to do with us?  I'm sure he still has a good relationship with his teammates, and with major organizational overhaul, guys like Trout and Ohtani will really be the only remnants of his playing career here over that contract
