Albert Pujols No Longer a Managerial Candidate for Angels
Albert Pujols is no longer considered a candidate to become the Los Angeles Angels' next manager, a team source told The Athletic's Sam Blum on Monday. There was mutual interest between Pujols and the Angels, but the two sides couldn't get close on dollars or years. It's believed to be very unlikely that the two sides would find common ground. Another former Angels player, Torii Hunter, is still in consideration for the role, but he's not considered a slam-dunk candidate. The Halos are also eyeing ex-managers Brandon Hyde and Rocco Baldelli, and another former Angels player, Kurt Suzuki, is in the mix. Both Hunter and Suzuki currently work as special assistants to Angels general manager Perry Minasian. The Angels remain on the hook to pay Pujols' $7 million over the next seven years as part of the personal services contract he signed with the organization.
