Los Angeles Angels manager Joe Maddon talked about the messy departure of Albert Pujols from the team last week, when the 21-year future Hall of Famer was designated for assignment.
Maddon was a guest on the Starkville podcast at The Athletic, telling Jayson Stark and Doug Glanville, “Divorce is difficult.”
Maddon talked in depth about the process, which Stark summarized at The Athletic:
“It’s one of those situations where it could have been done differently had it happened in spring training, or even last offseason,” Maddon said.
