Add the Orioles<\/a> to the list of teams with interest in future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols<\/a> for their open managerial position. The O’s have expressed interest in Pujols but have yet to formally interview him, according to\u00a0ESPN<\/a>. The MLB veteran is reportedly also in talks with the<\/a> Angels<\/a>, his longtime team, about their opening.<\/p>\n Orioles president of baseball operations Mike Elias was a scout with the Cardinals<\/a> when Pujols starred in St. Louis as a player. \u00a0<\/p>\n Expected to contend for the World Series this year, Baltimore instead went 75-87 and finished in last place in the AL East. Erstwhile manager Brandon Hyde was fired with the team’s record sitting at 15-28 on May 17. The O’s played better under interim manager Tony Mansolino (60-59), but not better enough to stop Elias from looking for a new full-time skipper.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n MLB manager tracker: Padres’ job becomes eighth opening as Mike Shildt retires<\/p>\n \n R.J. Anderson <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Pujols, 45, retired following the 2022 season and last year won a championship with Leones del Escogido of the Dominican Winter League. It was his managerial debut. Pujols is slated to manage the Dominican Republic in next spring’s World Baseball Classic.\u00a0<\/p>\n In parts of 22 seasons, Pujols batted .296\/.374\/.544 with 703 home runs and 117 stolen bases. He is an 11-time All-Star who won three MVPs, two Gold Gloves, six Silver Sluggers, and two World Series titles. Pujols will be eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2028.<\/p>\n The O’s and Angels are two of eight teams without a manager, joining the Braves<\/a>, Giants<\/a>, Nationals<\/a>, Padres<\/a>, Rockies<\/a>, and Twins<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Getty Images Add the Orioles to the list of teams with interest in future Hall of Famer Albert…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":216396,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,1186,591,85],"class_list":["post-216395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-baltimore-orioles","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=216395"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216395\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/216396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=216395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=216395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=216395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"MLB](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/mike-shidlt-getty-1.png\")
