Joe Maddon knows a little something about displacing an existing manager, having taken over for Rick Renteria with the Cubs five years ago. History could be repeating itself ($) this coming winter if Maddon does not receive a new contract to remain in Chicago, as Ken Rosenthal reported for The Athletic.
According to major-league sources, the Angels would consider moving on from Brad Ausmus, 50, and bringing back Maddon, 65. Maddon spent 31 years in the Angels’ organization, the first 19 as a minor-league catcher, scout, manager and hitting instructor, the final 12 as a major-league coach and two-time interim manager.
