Tony La Russa sings Albert Pujols' praises, but says stacked White Sox lineup leaves 'no fit' for his ex-slugger

CHICAGO -- There won't be a reunion between Albert Pujols and his old manager as Chicago White Sox skipper Tony La Russa indicated Pujols won't be joining him in Chicago.

"We have Jose (Abreu) and Yermin (Mercedes) and even if Yermin gets less hot, it's a good way to DH other guys, get them off their feet," La Russa said Friday afternoon. "There is no fit here, unfortunately."

La Russa managed Pujols in St. Louis for the first 11 years of his career before the future hall of fame slugger joined the Los Angeles Angels as a free agent.
