ANAHEIM, Calif. - Albert Pujols’ wife apparently disclosed that the Los Angeles Angels slugger intends to retire after the upcoming season, although she later amended her social media post to be less definitive. The 41-year-old Pujols, a three-time MVP and 10-time All-Star, reported to spring training with the Angels on Monday. Pujols is the oldest player in the majors, and he is a decade removed from his heyday in St. Louis. He parlayed his success in St. Louis into an extraordinary contract from Angels owner Arte Moreno in December 2011. Pujols has batted .257 with 217 homers and 771 RBIs in his nine seasons with the Angels, dropping his career average to .299.
