Josh Paul is a former colleague of LA Angels general manager Billy Eppler as Paul worked for the New York Yankees as a catching coordinator over the past three seasons. Before that he was a scout for that for the Yankees as well as being a minor league manager.
Paul will replace Dino Ebel as the Angels bench coach as Ebel will move back to being the Angels third base coach, a role he previously held for nine seasons from 2005 to 2013. Why did Ebel move back to being a third base coach from being the bench coach?
