The Angels and their original top pick, future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols, broke off talks after some differences emerged during early conversations.
Pujols is attracting interest from the Padres and apparently also the Orioles to manage now.
Pujols was the Angels’ first choice early on, but the teams differed on coaches, resources and compensation. The parameters were discussed.
Angels executive Kurt Suzuki and Torii Hunter – a former Angels and Twins star – are now among the leading management candidates on a long list.
