"It seems the Angels have made up their mind about their next manager, though he still has to agree. According to a report from Sam Blum and Katie Woo of The Athletic, the job is going to go to Albert Pujols as long as he wants it. Per the report, Pujols met with general manager Arte Moreno last night and the meeting went well."
"It was reported just over a week ago that Pujols would interview for the job and would be a frontrunner. That was just a few days after it was reported that neither Ron Washington nor Ray Montgomery would be back in the job. Washington opened the 2025 season as the skipper but was away for most of the year due to quadruple bypass surgery, with Montgomery covering for him on an interim basis."
Albert Pujols met with general manager Arte Moreno and the meeting went well; negotiations toward a managerial contract are underway but not yet finalized. The Angels have essentially designated Pujols as their managerial choice, contingent on his decision to accept the role. Pujols was expected to interview and emerged as a frontrunner. Ron Washington and Ray Montgomery will not return to the managerial role, with Washington having opened the 2025 season but missing most of the year after quadruple bypass surgery and Montgomery serving as interim manager. Torii Hunter remains a potential candidate only if Pujols declines the position. Final terms and an official announcement depend on Pujols' agreement and completion of contractual details.
