Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers went on the offensive -- in defense of National League MVP Ryan Braun of the Milwaukee Brewers.

Ryan Braun denies he has used any performance-enhancing drugs. But the NL MVP showed a level of testosterone that is likely the highest ever recorded by MLB, reports David Epstein.

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.

Albert Pujols is heading to the Angels. In a stunning move, Los Angeles agreed to a deal Thursday with the three-time NL MVP winner, prying him away from St.

Louis after 11 seasons.

Albert Pujols cut off contract negotiations at the start of spring training. His bat was equally silent on opening day.

The three-time NL MVP Pujols grounded into a career-worst three double plays while going 0 for 5 in the St.

Louis Cardinals' 5-3, 11-inning loss to the San Diego Padres on Thursday.

The NL MVP race and the NL Central division race are intertwined, says Cliff Corcoran. The Reds or Cardinals will prevail, most likely due to the stretch play of their All-Star first baseman.

Albert Pujols was unanimously voted National League MVP on Tuesday, becoming the first player to repeat since Barry Bonds won four in a row from 2001-04.

Pujols received all 32 first-place votes and 448 points in balloting announced by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
