A report indicates that former St. Louis Cardinals star player, Albert Pujols, is being contemplated for a contract extension by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Pujols, who remained unsigned for a while before finally landing a deal with the Dodgers, is currently playing on a one-year contract with the team.
The Dodgers took a shot on the 41-year-old, ten-time All-Star Pujols, following his release by the Cardinals. His selection was met with some skepticism, given his age and recent performance. However, according to the claims, the veteran player has exceeded expectations.
Despite his age, Pujols has managed to maintain an impressive offensive game with the Dodgers. This resurgence in form is believed to have sparked the Dodgers’ interest in extending his contract. Specifically, he is batting .253 with 11 home runs and 31 runs batted in as part of the Dodgers squad, indicating that the player continues to bring vital experience and skills to the team. These stats were as of the source’s update on August 22, 2021.
There is no official announcement regarding the extension deal as yet, but this potential move shows the Dodgers’ confidence in the player’s ability to continue contributing positively towards their aspirations. Pujols’ experience and performance could still remain a significant asset for the Dodgers while they seek to secure future successes.
However, like all reports of this nature, until an official announcement is released, all talk regarding Pujols’ contract extension will remain speculative. Pujols, for his part, has yet to comment on the matter.
