Overview

  • The Angels announced on Friday, June 27, 2026, that they had relieved Perry Minasian of his duties and named John Mozeliak their baseball operations consultant and interim general manager.
  • Mozeliak will oversee day-to-day baseball operations, work to refine the club’s baseball-operations strategy, and assist in finding a full-time general manager, the team said.
  • Minasian ran the front office from 2020 through mid-2026 without a winning season and presided over roughly a .440 winning percentage, decisions that critics link to poor roster moves and the loss of Shohei Ohtani in free agency.
  • The club is 34-48 this season, tied for last in the American League, and carries an 11-year postseason drought with one of baseball’s weakest farm systems, leaving Mozeliak with a short-term job of stabilizing talent development and roster construction.
  • Mozeliak brings a three-decade Cardinals record that includes a 2011 World Series title, and his arrival signals the Angels will pursue an experienced long-term GM while ownership faces pressure to change the organization’s decision-making approach.
