Report: Astros interviewing Pujols for managerial job

###
The Houston Astros will speak with future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols about their vacant managerial position, a source told Chandler Rome of The Athletic.
Pujols will arrive in Houston on Wednesday before interviewing Thursday at Daikin Park, reports Brian McTaggart of MLB.com.
The 46-year-old and new Astros general manager Randy Flores were teammates with the St. Louis Cardinals from 2004-08, during which they won the 2006 World Series together.
Pujols, who retired in 2022, interviewed for managerial openings with the Los Angeles Angels and San Diego Padres last year.
The former three-time NL MVP managed the Dominican Republic national team to third place in the 2026 World Baseball Classic.
Pujols famously hit a game-winning homer against the Astros in Game 5 of the 2005 NLCS.
