The Los Angeles Angels dismissed general manager Billy Eppler a week ago but will be deliberate in hiring his replacement.

The Los Angeles Angels hired Billy Eppler as the team’s 12th general manager on October 4, 2015, just hours after the team’s regular-season ended. In looking for Eppler’s successor, the team has plans to take a little more time.

In speaking with the media on Wednesday, including Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times, Angels’ president John Carpino noted that the team intends to be more deliberate in the hiring process and not rush to hire Eppler’s replacement.
