What’s Next After Angels Fire GM Perry Minasian, Hire Interim GM John Mozeliak

The Angels abruptly fired GM Perry Minasian an hour before Friday’s opener, extending the club’s playoff drought to 11 seasons as they sit last in the AL West.
Veteran Cardinals executive John Mozeliak was hired as interim baseball-ops consultant/GM to oversee the draft, evaluate the organization and run the GM search through December.
The team’s problems — a weak farm system, a failed 2023 push (and missed rebuild), Ohtani’s departure and Trout’s lack of postseason success — leave big questions about trade-deadline strategy and the club’s future.
