Ausmus gets second chance as manager, this time with Angels
When Brad Ausmus and the Tigers parted ways in September of last season, he made it clear that he was interested in managing again somewhere. After a one-year hiatus, that somewhere is close to home in southern California, where he’ll be managing the Angels next season.
It’s not a total surprise, given Ausmus spent this past season in the Angels front office as a special assistant to GM Billy Eppler. Once Mike Scioscia’s tenure as Angels skipper ended, Ausmus became a pretty strong candidate — and one of the more experienced ones, having managed four seasons in Detroit.
