Future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols is set to rejoin the team where his long Major League career started.
MLB.com and the St. Louis Post Dispatch are quoting sources as saying Pujols has agreed to a one year deal with the St. Louis Cardinals worth $2.5 million.
The contract is pending a physical, and as of Monday morning, has not been announced by the club.
Pujols won World Series titles with the Cardinals in 2006 and 2011, and will be reunited with former teammates Yadier Molina and Adam Wainwright.
Pujols, who’s just 21 home runs shy of 700 for his career, will most likely serve as a right-handed designated hitter against lefties and a pinch-hitter.
