When the Los Angeles Dodgers signed Albert Pujols for the remainder of the 2021 season, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence in his ability to contribute on the field and in the clubhouse.
Meanwhile, Pujols refuted the notion of only being interested in an everyday role and asserted he was fully on board with what the Dodgers had outlined in their meetings. Also on a personal level, the future Hall of Famer is in pursuit of MLB history.
Pujols’ home run in the Dodgers’ loss on Saturday was the 669th of his career.
