Perry Minasian, an assistant general manager with the Atlanta Braves, will be the new GM of the Los Angeles Angels, a source confirmed to ESPN on Thursday.
The Athletic first reported the news. Minasian, who will replace Billy Eppler, was one of five candidates who advanced into the second round of interviews this week and was seen as the clear front-runner as of Wednesday night.
Minasian has spent the past three years working alongside Braves president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos and has helped turn the organization into a perennial contender bursting with young talent.
