The Los Angeles Angels announced the hiring of Brad Ausmus as their new manager on Sunday.
Ausmus, 49, was already working in the Angels’ front office. He managed the Detroit Tigers from 2014 to 2017, with a career record of 314-332. The Tigers won the American League Central title in his first season but were swept in the AL Division Series.
He will be the Angels’ first new manager since 2000, after the ballclub parted ways with Mike Scioscia after 19 seasons.
Ausmus, a former catcher, played 18 years in the majors and made the All-Star team in 1999. He retired in 2010.
