The Los Angeles Angels interviewed legendary slugger Albert Pujols for their managerial job on Thursday, Sam Blum and Katie Woo of The Athletic report. While a deal isn't imminent, the meeting went well enough that the job is considered Pujols' if he wants it. Otherwise, the Angels could pivot to another of their former players, Torii Hunter, who's now a special assistant to general manager Perry Minasian. Pujols spent the first 11 seasons of his career with the St. Louis Cardinals before signing a 10-year, $240 million contract with the Angels ahead of the 2012 campaign. While Pujols' production dropped off with the Angels, who designated him for assignment in 2021, he still finished his career with 703 home runs (good for fourth all-time). The 45-year-old has been a special assistant with the Angels since 2023. Although Pujols doesn't have any managerial experience in the majors or minors, he guided Leones Del Escogido to a Dominican Winter League championship last year. If he succeeds the departed Ron Washington as the Angels' manager, he'll be taking over a team that went 72-90 in 2025 and owns a league-worst 11-year playoff drought. Pujols was the Angels' primary first baseman during their most recent playoff season in 2014.--Connor Byrne
