Albert Pujols officially joined the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday when Major League Baseball and the players' association confirmed the terms of the first baseman's 10-year contract and agreed its guaranteed value is $240 million.

Three-time NL MVP Albert Pujols has agreed to a 10-year contract with the Los Angeles Angels worth about $250 million to $260 million, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press today.

Adrian Beltre hit a two-run homer, Michael Young added an eighth-inning RBI single, and the Texas Rangers eliminated the Los Angeles Angels from the playoff race with a 4-3 victory Monday night.

The AL West used to be dominated by the Oakland Athletics and Los Angeles Angels , who combined to win nine division titles from 2000 through 2009.

The Seattle Mariners were charged with a season-high five errors in their loss to the pennant-contending Los Angeles Angels.

The Los Angeles Angels have scheduled a news conference for Tuesday, when the team is expected to announce it has agreed with pitcher Jered Weaver on a five-year contract.

SI.com first reported that Weaver and the Angels have agreed to a deal worth $85 million. The 28-year-old Weaver leads the American League with a 2.10 ERA and is 14-6 this season.

While the Los Angeles Angels formed a mosh pit at home plate in celebration of Mark Trumbo's dramatic homer, the Texas Rangers did their best to shrug it off.

Jered Weaver dropped his appeal of a six-game suspension, and the Los Angeles Angels ace will miss an upcoming series against the New York Yankees.
