Speculation is growing around Albert Pujols and a potential move into management with the Houston Astros. The former St. Louis Cardinals slugger was spotted in conversation with MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred during Game 3 of the 2026 World Series between the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field on October 26.
Pujols, who retired after the 2022 season, has remained visible around the game. His presence at the Fall Classic and dialogue with the commissioner have fueled talk that the Astros could consider him for their managerial vacancy. Houston has not publicly commented on any candidates.
