Future MLB Hall of Famer Albert Pujols desires to be the first player to cross the 700-home run threshold and then end up an MLB manager. Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts believes that is a position Pujols might be properly equipped for.

“I find it irresistible,” stated Roberts through USA Today. “It’s just truly rare that a guy who finished a lot on the field wants to return to grind in coaching and managing. But I assume the game desires him. I assume he needs the game as well, actually.”

Pujols is assured he might be in awesome shape for that task. He feels that managing permits him to give back to the game that has accomplished a lot for him.

“For me, I’ve constantly been serious about everything that I do on this game,” Pujols said. “And now I’m critical about managing. This game has done so much for me, and now, I want to give back. I’m ready.”
Other past and present managers accept as true that Pujols ought to do an amazing job, including Tony La Russa, who managed Pujols in St. Louis for 11 years.

“You talk about integrity. You talk about his IQ. You talk about his discipline,” La Russa stated. “I call him APP, Albert Perfect Pujols. When a man has a great deal to provide and has a lot of love for the game, the game advantages him whilst he wants to stay active and share.”

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher gains Tokyo opportunity

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Matt Sauer has earned the opportunity to journey to Tokyo with the team to open the season.

“I genuinely didn’t even realize how to react,” Sauer said through The Athletic. “I think it became satisfactory. It became wonderful, the manner he did it.”
