Albert Pujols is Living With His Hard-Partying Agent While His Family Remains in St. Louis

For now, Pujols is living with agent Dan Lozano. When family visits, such as for this weekend’s series against the Kansas City Royals, he shifts to a resort hotel near the beach. Pujols has put the family’s Wildwood home up for sale while contemplating whether to buy locally or in Phoenix.

Look, I’ve watched Million Dollar Listing. I know it can be difficult to find the right palatial apartment. That being said, this is Albert Pujols, not Jeremy Lin. There’s no reason he should be sleeping on somebody’s couch. (Note: He could very well be in a guest bedroom.) The interesting part of all this is who Pujols is living with.

Pujols’ agent Dan Lozano has what you might consider a “checkered” past that allegedly includes call girls, porn and heavy wine drinking. In November, Deadspin published a fairly extensive breakdown of Lozano’s past. You can read the whole thing over there, but I’ll just pick out the part that centers on Pujols. From Deadspin:

If you believe all that, then Pujols sleeping in his guest bedroom is a way for Lozano to start paying back his cash cow. It also makes sense that Pujols would get away from Lozano’s home when his family is in town. You have to wonder if Lozano is still partying as hard, especially considering he’s now been paid.
