The Astros will interview MLB legend Albert Pujols for their managerial opening on Thursday, sources told MLB.com’s Brian McTaggart and Mark Feinsand on Wednesday. The club has not confirmed the news.
Pujols is currently under contract with the Angels, having signed a 10-year, $10 million personal services contract (which kicked in after his retirement in 2022) as part of his $240 million deal with the Angels before the 2012 season.
The 46-year-old slugger interviewed with the Angels and Padres last offseason before they filled their managerial vacancies for the 2026 season with Kurt Suzuki and Craig Stammen, respectively.
