With what confidence did he kick his old team's manager position.

Albert Pujols, the slugger of the U.S. Major League Baseball legend, is showing signs of becoming a `Nakdong River duck egg.'

U.S. local media reported on the 27th (Korea time) that the Baltimore Orioles appointed Cleveland Guardians bench coach Craig Albernaz as their new coach.




The fact that a 42-year-old young man, who has no major league experience as a player, became a manager is a hot topic, but the fire broke out elsewhere.

Why Pujols was not chosen as Baltimore manager. Pujols was interviewed as a candidate for Baltimore's new coach, and was mentioned as a strong candidate, but he ended up in trouble.

Pujols is a 'legend' slugger who needs no explanation. He retired after hitting 703 home runs, the fourth-ranked team in Major League history. After retiring in 2022, his home country of Dominican Republic Leonys Del Escoch also played as a coach last year and this year, and was appointed as the coach of the Dominican national team in the World Baseball Classic next spring.




Meanwhile, teams that need to change their coaches after the end of the regular season have been paying attention to Pujols. In particular, he was stigmatized as a player, but his hometown, the Los Angeles Angels, seemed to welcome Pujols as a coach. The reason why the owner loves him.

We also had an actual interview. However, negotiations reportedly broke down due to problems such as contract period and annual salary. A de facto novice leader with no coaching experience in the Major League seems to have kicked out the manager's position. The Angels appointed Kurt Suzuki as their new manager.

Baltimore has since been mentioned as a major destination, but it wasn't Baltimore either. The San Diego Padres are known to be interested in Pujols to replace Mike Shildt, who resigned, but it is currently lukewarm.
