Confirms 2022 as final season Pujols confirmed Monday that 2022 would be his final season, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Impact It was far from guaranteed that the 42-year-old would find a major-league deal anywhere this season, as he hasn't been an above-average hitter since 2016, but he wound up landing a one-year deal to return to where it all started in St. Louis. It appears likely that Pujols, Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina will all embark on a season-long retirement tour this year. Pujols is 21 homers away from reaching 700, which may have motivated him to come back this season, but he may not play enough to get there. At the pace he's shown over the last five years, it would take him 535 plate appearances to homer 21 times.

Returns to Cardinals Pujols signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Cardinals on Sunday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Cardinals expressed increased interest in signing Pujols recently, and the two sides were ultimately able to reach an agreement for the 42-year-old to return to St. Louis. After a dominant stretch with the Cardinals to begin his career, Pujols will take on a different role during the 2022 campaign, serving as a right-handed bat off the bench while providing a veteran presence in the locker room. He appeared in 109 games between the Angels and Dodgers last year and slashed .236/.284/.433 with 17 home runs, 50 RBI and 29 runs.
