The Houston Astros are reportedly interviewing St. Louis Cardinals legend Albert Pujols for their managerial opening, according to a report from Baseball Now on Thursday.
Pujols, a three-time National League MVP and two-time World Series champion with the Cardinals, has been mentioned as a candidate to fill the Astros' managerial vacancy. The 46-year-old former first baseman and designated hitter retired after the 2022 season following a 22-year MLB career that also included stints with the Los Angeles Angels and Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Astros have been searching for a new manager since parting ways with Dusty Baker after the 2024 season. Pujols would be a first-time manager at the major league level if hired.
