From Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times:
After hitting two homers and drawing three intentional walks in Saturday?s 8-4 win, Pujols gave a strong indication he will not allow himself to become an albatross to the Angels.
?God has given me ability and talent, but the day I feel like I can?t compete any more on this level, I?m not going to embarrass myself,? Pujols said. ?I?m going to walk off. Whether that?s next year, two years from now, only God knows.?
It?s difficult to believe that Pujols is going to stick by that because other highly-paid baseball players have said similar things in the past and then cashed their checks anyway. The MLBPA would certainly frown on it for the precedent that it might set.
Pujols signed a 10-year, $240 million free agent contract with the Angels in December 2011. The 33-year-old first baseman will earn $16 million this season, $23 million in 2014, $24 million in 2015, $25 million in 2016, $26 million in 2017, $27 million in 2018, $28 million in 2019, $29 million in 2020 and $30 million in 2021.
He also holds a 10-year, $10 million personal services contract that will take effect once he retires.
