Chaim Bloom faced a big decision as he took over as the St. Louis Cardinals' president of baseball operations: Should he retain manager Oliver Marmol? While most, including myself, supported his decision to keep rolling with the manager that seems to be in lockstep with his vision for the future, that meant risking the potential of franchise icons like Albert Pujols or Yadier Molina going to a manager elsewhere.
Well, a new report suggests that it didn't take long for Pujols to land his first managerial gig in Major League Baseball.

MLB Insider Hector Gomez shared the news today that Pujols is expected to be named the Angels' next manager, relaying the information from Franklin Mirabal, a sports editor from the Dominican Republic.
