ST. LOUIS -- Updated: Friday, December 9 at 8:35 a.m.
Albert Pujols is heading to California, but his foundation will remain in St. Louis.
The iconic Cardinals slugger is signing with the Angels and taking his talents to Los Angeles, raising some concerns about what will happen with the Pujols Family Foundation that benefits people with Down syndrome.
But executive director Todd Perry told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the foundation will remain active in St. Louis, though it could expand to include programs in the Los Angeles area. He isn't yet sure if the headquarters will remain in St. Louis.
Original Story:
A person familiar with the negotiations says that three-time NL MVP Albert Pujols has agreed to a 10-year contract with the Los Angeles Angels.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday because the deal had not been announced.
Pujols, who led the St. Louis Cardinals to a World Series title this fall, had been pursued by the Miami Marlins, but they dropped out Wednesday after agreeing to a deal with Mark Buehrle.
ESPN first reported the Pujols deal.
