Summary
34-48 and tied for the American League's worst record, the Angels dismissed Perry Minasian in his sixth season and put John Mozeliak in charge of day-to-day baseball operations while they search for a new GM.
11 straight losing seasons framed the move: the Angels never won more than 77 games under Minasian, lost a franchise-record 99 in 2024 and were headed toward another non-contending finish.
392-500 was Minasian's overall record from 2021, with the club posting one of MLB's weakest farm systems, the fifth-highest ERA and no postseason berth despite aggressive moves around Shohei Ohtani's final season.
57-year-old Mozeliak arrives from St. Louis with 10 playoff appearances, six division titles, two pennants and the 2011 World Series title, and is expected to stay through the end of 2026.
