The Los Angeles Angels have hired Brad Ausmus to be their new manager, according to reports. Ausmus, who Detroit Tigers fans are familiar with both as a player and manager, worked in the Angels front office in 2018 after he was let go as Detroit’s manager.
Ausmus will succeed long-time Angels manager Mike Scioscia, who oversaw one of the most successful runs in franchise history. The Angels went 1,650-1,428 under Scioscia, a .536 win percentage. He is responsible for over one-third of the franchise’s all-time wins, and won the 2002 World Series, the team’s only championship.
