Joe Maddon hasn't managed in an MLB game since 2022. That year, Angels GM Perry Minasian fired the three-time Manager of the Year amidst a 12-game losing streak and, despite an oft-stated interest to return to the game, no team has seen Maddon as a solution in the dugout.
During the last three years, Maddon hasn't been shy about taking shots at front offices and the general direction of the game, which probably hasn't helped his standing in the eyes of baseball executives. His latest topic of ire? New San Francisco Giants manager Tony Vitello, who was hired despite having zero coaching or managerial experience in Major League Baseball.
