Pujols Eyed for MLB Manager Roles

0:00On April 2-8, Major League Baseball's manager Shakeup kicked off early this year with the Boston Red Sox canning Alex Cora last week and the Philadelphia Phillies dropping Rob Thompson on Tuesday. Both squads entered the season with big playoff hype, but crashed hard instead. Over in St. Louis, the Cardinals are feeling good about their skipper Oliver Marmel, who's got them rolling strong even during a rebuild. But eyes are turning to former card superstar, Albert Pujols as a fresh face, who might snag one of these gigs soon. Pujols has kept tight ties to the game since hanging up his cleats in 2022, and he ran the Dominican Republic squad at the World Baseball. Classic, players loved his vibe, and he earned mad respect for sharing his smarts and leading from the front. Job spots are popping up fast. Philly grabbed Don Mattingley as interim after Cora passed. Boston's mess might scare folks off. The meds are tanking, and could dump Carlos Mendoza. Plus Pujols bonded with their star Juan Soto back at the classic.

1:02Even Houston's Joe Aspada feels the heat of things don't turn. Word is, Pujols craze that dug out challenge. So if teams won a legend with fire, he could slide right in and shake things up this off season. This has been MLB News Today, powered by AI.
