Angels have to consider parting ways with Albert Pujols

With word that Albert Pujols will have season-ending arthroscopic knee surgery, you may have had a split-second thought of "Oh, he might be done forever, not just 2018," until you remember that he's still under contract for $28 million in 2019, $29 million in 2020 and $30 million in 2030.

His season ends with a batting line of .245/.289/.411 with 19 home runs and 64 RBIs in 117 games and 498 plate appearances, somewhat respectable power numbers that help cover up that he's providing the Angels little value these days -- as has been the case for three seasons now.
