Pujols was believed to be the favorite for the Angels job this offseason, but they ultimately decided to go with Kurt Suzuki instead. Padres pitching coach Ruben Niebla and bench coach Brian Esposito are the only other candidates believed to have interviewed with the club at this juncture. It doesn’t sound like anything is imminent as San Diego searches for Mike Shildt’s replacement, but Pujols appears to be a serious candidate to fill the void.

Incredible, especially given that Pujols is already an Angels employee under the terms of his personal services contract that was part of his 10-year, $240 million deal with the club as a player. Pujols is still in the mix for the jobs in San Diego and Baltimore, according to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand. The Angels are still considering Torii Hunter and Kurt Suzuki and have wanted to interview Brandon Hyde and Rocco Baldelli, though things seemed to be on hold during the Pujols negotiations.

Pujols has reportedly been the favorite to become the manager of the Los Angeles Angels, but they will have some competition. The former big league star has no managerial experience, but that didn’t stop another former player, Stephen Vogt from winning AL Manager of the Year in his first season as a manager. Pujols figures to be one of the most discussed managerial candidates of the off-season.

Pujols is considered one of the favorites to land the managerial job, but the 45-year-old faces some other candidates; including former outfielder Torii Hunter. The future Hall of Famer will likely have a more formal interview in the coming weeks, but it shouldn’t shock anyone if Pujols is announced as the team’s new skipper before the start of the winter.

Well, this would be fun. Heyman was first to report of the interview, but Ken Rosenthal and Sam Blum believe that Pujols is the Angels’ “leading choice” to take over. Pujols retired back in 2022 after a legendary career, and of course played for the Angels for a large portion of it; albeit not the most successful portion. The 45-year-old has no managerial experience at the highest level, but he’s going to manage the Dominican Republic in the upcoming World Baseball Classic, and it appears this is something he’s very interested in. Fun.
