Pujols, 45, is ready to become the first 700-homer hitter to be a major-league manager. He will manage the Dominican Republic in the 2026 WBC.

Now, Albert Pujols is daring to go where no 700 HR Club member has gone before. Pujols, 45, wants to become the first to be a major-league manager.

Pujols said he plans to get a meal with La Russa, his ex- Cardinals skipper, while he’s in Arizona so they can talk managing. The 44-year-old isn’t necessarily gunning for an MLB managerial job.
