This would be an absolutely dreadful decision for the LA Angels to make.
I get it, I really do. Joe Maddon is from here, starting his career and spending three decades with the team before moving on. And he’s won a World Series in his career with the Cubs, another impressive feat. He’s one of the more energetic managers as well.
However, it would be a massive mistake for the Angels to fire Ausmus and to then fill the void by bringing in Maddon.
First off, and this may be disagreed upon by Angels fans, but Ausmus has been a solid manager in the first year of his Angels tenure.
