The Los Angeles Angels fire general manager Perry Minasian midway through another season that is expected to be disappointing, with the team on pace for another last-place finish in the American League West. Multiple outlets report that this is Minasian’s first major dismissal during a stretch in which the Angels have not produced a winning record while he leads baseball operations. The team also signals a wider organizational reset by changing leadership before the season ends.
Following the dismissal, the Angels appoint John Mozeliak, a longtime Cardinals executive, as interim general manager and baseball operations consultant. Mozeliak oversees day-to-day baseball operations while the organization begins the process of searching for the next permanent general manager, according to team statements cited by outlets. Several reports note that Minasian’s tenure spans roughly six seasons and that he is removed before the conclusion of the current campaign. Collectively, the coverage centers on the change in leadership and the interim role Mozeliak will play as the Angels look ahead to their next GM hire.
