Angels manager Joe Maddon said Pujols wants to play first base regularly for another team after he clears waivers, something the Angels were apparently unwilling to allow.
The three-time NL MVP was in the final year of a 10-year, $240 million contract with L.A., after 11 seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals. Pujols is the oldest active Major League Baseball player.
