The Los Angeles Angels have had discussions with future Hall of Famer and former St. Louis Cardinals first baseman, Albert Pujols about their vacant managerial position. While an agreement is not yet in place, the job appears to be Pujols’ to lose. The three-time MVP sat down with Angels general manager Perry Minasian in St. Louis on Thursday, and that meeting is believed to have gone well. Pujols is also reportedly the preferred hire of owner Arte Moreno. The Angels currently employ Pujols as a special assistant as part of a 10-year, $10-million personal services contract with the club that kicked in upon his retirement in 2023. That personal services deal was originally negotiated as part of the 10-year, $240-million contract he inked with the Halos as a free agent before the 2012 season.
