Pujols and Molina Pursue MLB Managerial Roles

Yadier Molina and Albert Pujols, both retired MLB legends, are setting their sights on managerial roles in baseball. Molina, who retired after the 2022 season, has returned to the St. Louis Cardinals as a special assistant but is currently prioritizing family time over active roles with the team. He has expressed interest in managing MLB teams while gaining experience through international and winter ball coaching. Meanwhile, Pujols, who retired in 2022 after a storied career, is eager to transition to managing and has been involved in managing teams in the Dominican Republic. He has received endorsements from former manager Tony La Russa and current Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who believe his leadership and love for the game make him an ideal candidate. While both former players are exploring these aspirations, they acknowledge the competitive nature of securing managerial positions in MLB.
