I take the Shildt hire back. Looks like he’s burned out, which is the last thing we need. Let’s hire Albert and Yadi before the Angels get them.
This could also have gone in the Former Cardinals in the News thread…

The Orioles have expressed interest in Albert Pujols for their manager vacancy, sources tell me and @JeffPassan. …https://t.co/Kf38NHAYr2

I’m not sure I see why so many teams are lining up to hire Pujols to manage. This isn’t college – there is very, very little recruiting and that’s limited to a few free agents.
I guess it’d be like hiring Ted Williams or Stan Musial to manage….You get a big name in the dugout – whatever that turns out to be worth.
May be impressed with his work with the DR team in winter ball he took to a title, they had a pretty young team….also the Orioles President of Baseball was a scout with the Cardinals when
Pujols played in St. LouisAre the Giants seriously going to hire that college coach from Tennessee as their next manager???
Huge mistake…….
The Mang is a hot candidate.

The Angels have informed Torii Hunter, one of the most popular players in franchise history, that he no longer is in the running for their vacant managerial job.
The Angels earlier told Albert Pujols that he no longer was being considered.

Angels hired kurt suzuki. They are always going to be a lost organization.personally i hope pujols ends up in baltimore. He will do fine there

Scratch the Angels opening as they are going with Kurt Suzuki.
Edit: I didn’t see 1982 Willie’s post until after mine.
The Giants hired the guy from Tennessee. I think his name is Vitello or something like that.
Huge mistake.
Wait and see.
Max Scherzer on new Giants manager Tony Vitello, his former pitching coach at Missouri: “I absolutely believe in him. He’s to this day one of my closest friends and I absolutely believe he’s gonna get it done at the big league level.” https://t.co/UMsR3sj5GI

Tony Vitello, who was earning $3.3 million annually with salary and benefits, will be taking a paycut to manage the Giants in his new deal. The Giants also still owe fired Bob Melvin $4 million in 2026. https://t.co/XSzu5KZu0c

Vitello is an interesting cat. A very brash, outspoken guy. He has been a very good college coach but I don’t know how that will translate to MLB.
He was an assistant coach here at the U of Arkansas at one time and has had some epic games here as the visiting coach of Tennessee. The current coach here, Dave Van Horn, is expected to retire in the next couple of year and many in these parts have thought Vitello would be a logical replacement. If he flames out with the Giants I suppose it could happen.
Looks like Albert missed out on another one.

The Cardinals do not currently expect Yadier Molina to be a part of next year's coaching staff, but remain open to finding a role for Molina within the org. #STLCards
