Angels can’t seriously consider Albert Pujols if he’s still holding firm on wild demands

Writer Nick San Miguel argues that the Los Angeles Angels should not hire Albert Pujols as manager if his reported demands remain firm. According to reporting from Jon Heyman of the New York Post, Pujols is seeking a $6 million annual salary alongside broad control over organizational operations, including roster construction.

San Miguel contends these requests are unrealistic in modern baseball and could cause conflict with interim general manager John Mozeliak. The article suggests Mozeliak may hesitate to hire an uncompromising figure, potentially prompting the Angels to retain manager Kurt Suzuki instead.
