DALLAS (AP) — Three-time NL MVP Albert Pujols agreed Thursday to a $254 million, 10-year contract with the Los Angeles Angels, leaving the World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals after more than a decade for a new baseball life in southern California.

Pujols’ contract, which is subject to a physical, is the second-highest in baseball history and only the third to break the $200 million barrier, following Alex Rodriguez’s $252 million, 10-year deal with Texas before the 2001 season and A-Rod’s $275 million, 10-year contract with the Yankees before the 2008 season.

The Angels also agreed to a five-year contract with left-hander C.J. Wilson, a deal worth $77.5 million that raised their spending for the day to $331.5 million.

Dodgers ink Harang

DALLAS (AP) — Pitcher Aaron Harang has agreed to a $12 million, two-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The 33-year-old right-hander, a southern California native, was 14-7 with a career-low 3.64 ERA in 28 starts for the San Diego Padres last season. He joins a rotation that already includes NL Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw, Chad Billingsley, Ted Lilly and fellow newcomer Chris Capuano.

Capuano is 95-94 with a 4.25 ERA with Oakland (2002-03), Cincinnati (2003-10) and San Diego (2011).

His deal includes salaries of $3 million next year and $7 million in 2013, with a $2 million buyout of a 2014 option.

Cubs, Rockies OK trade

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs acquired third baseman Ian Stewart and right-handed reliever Casey Weathers from the Colorado Rockies on Thursday night for outfielder Tyler Colvin and infielder D.J. LeMahieu.

Stewart, who hit 25 homers in 2009 and 18 more in 2010 for the Rockies, slumped last season when he split time Colorado and Triple-A. In 48 games with the Rockies he batted .156 without a homer in 122 at-bats and was bothered by a sprained left wrist late last season.

Feds want Bonds in jail

SAN FRANCISO (AP) — Federal prosecutors are urging a judge to send former baseball slugger Barry Bonds to prison.

In court documents filed late Thursday, prosecutors objected to a recommendation by a federal probation officer that Bonds get only probation when he’s sentenced for obstruction of justice on Dec. 16.

In the documents, prosecutors are asking that Bonds be sentenced to 15 months in prison.

The 47-year-old Bonds, baseball’s career home run leader, was convicted in April of obstructing a grand jury’s sports doping investigation with an evasive answer.
