Just hours after Ken Rosenthal predicted the news would happen after the season, the Angels have relieved General Manager Perry Minasian of his duties. John Mozeliak is taking his position effective immediately.
This decision comes not long after news that the Angels would keep their key players ahead of the trade deadline. Young pitchers like Reid Detmers and José Soriano, along with outfielder Jo Adell, were among the names mentioned staying off the trade block.
John Mozeliak, who served as the General Manager for the St. Louis Cardinals from 2007-2025, is “refining a baseball operations strategy and assisting the organization in its search for a new general manager.” However, the Angels have not specified how long such searching will take. His official title is “baseball operations consultant.” As of right now, it doesn’t look like he’s under consideration for the full-time role while the organization conducts its search.
This is an out-of-the-blue move from the Angels’ front office, so information is limited. Stay updated on this article, as more info will be coming out in the near future.
