When Perry Minasian signed a contract extension through the 2026 season last year, those in the baseball community knew that there was a world in which he would not make it that far. An Angels general manager is largely just a fall-guy for Arte Moreno, as the owner goes full Jerry Jones in the sense that he makes the decisions as if he is the real GM. Moreno tells Minasian what to do, and he does it.
Moreno is the true mover and shaker for the organization, and he is the reason the Angels will continue their longest active playoff drought in baseball after yet another season that will not extend into October.
