ANGELS FIRE GENERAL MANAGER MINASIAN, HIRE MOZELIAK AS CONSULTANT

The Los Angeles Angels dismissed general manager Perry Minasian on Friday and brought in John Mozeliak as a consultant to the baseball operations department. Mozeliak is described as a longtime executive who will advise on the team's restructuring efforts. The Angels organisation announced both moves simultaneously.

Minasian's tenure as general manager ended following a period in which the Angels' on-field performance did not meet expectations. The team's difficulties extended beyond Minasian's time in the role, with the organisation's competitive record having been weak for an extended period prior to his appointment.

Mozeliak's appointment represents the Angels' attempt to stabilise and revamp their baseball operations. His background as an executive within Major League Baseball brings experience to the department during this transition period. The specific duration of Mozeliak's consulting role and the full scope of his responsibilities have not been confirmed by the organisation.
