I'm glad the Angels can get the league minimum back from the Dodgers.
I wish nothing but the best for Pujols.
I'm thankful the Angels can move on.  More playing time for Walsh and Ohtani, both of which are far more exciting players now than Pujols.

There seems to be a lot of interest for someone that a lot of people despised. 🤣

This is the cold hard 'just the facts ma'am' reality of it with a dose of "MLB is a business"
I agree.
Still - I think the Dodgers scored PR coup points and the Angels look bad by the way they handled this.
And to top it all off - the Angels have somehow managed to play even worse since letting Pujols go.
Meanwhile - not sure if Pujols is what the Dodgers need to end their mysterious recent slide after a fabulous start.
NOW - think about this - the Dodgers right now have some key folks on the IR (Bellinger,  and McKenzie (name is wrong something like that, 2B-OF utility guy) the new rookie guy who was doing well then got hurt.  When these guys return the Dodgers may be facing a roster move decision like the Angels faced less than a month ago -- who goes? a productive bench depth guy or Pujols - who by then will have racked up a few frustrating rally killing GIDPs -- and under the new rules (in effect this year or next year?) there's no longer that expand the roster in September to any number of players you can fit  on your bench -- so the Dodgers may be weighing another DFA situation.

About my user name....moved here in 79.   Reggie and Tommy John followed.   Adopted the team.  I always have had the spirit of NY.  I always have contented that are our money is as green as anyone in New York and we should demand more from  the Angel Organization.   This is a team that needs to build a winning tradition.  It has been so close in the past of doing so. 

Not to sound like Trevor Bauer, but I'm tired of this team losing.  also... I Hate to sound like Captain obvious because I'm sure its been said, but I have to vent, this team has known it's main weakness is bad pitching and yet year after year it's always the band aid approach. When they did sign a big name pitcher it was CJ Wilson and well, we all know How that went  Pathetic.
