After months of speculation as to where free agent Albert Pujols would sign, the destination now semms clear. Tim Brown of Yahoo! Sports reported Thursday that Pujols will sign a 10-year deal with the Angels, tweeting, “Source: Pujols will sign with Angels for 10 years for between $250 and $260 million. Full no-trade. Pujols decided Thursday morning.” ESPN writer Buster Olney confirmed the report.

A $250 million contract would make Pujols the second-highest paid player in baseball to Alex Rodriguez. The move also means Pujols will play in the American League for the first time in his career. Pujols had spent his entire 11-year MLB tenure with the Cardinals, with a career .328 batting average and 445 home runs. The three-time National League MVP will be 32 years old at the start of the 2012 MLB season and  42 when his contract expires.
