Ron Washington will not return as the Los Angeles Angels manager, with interim Ray Montgomery not advancing as the next boss. The club, mired in 10 straight losing seasons, sunk to 63-99 in 2024 and 72-90 this season after Shohei Ohtani’s free-agent departure. The Angels are building around a young core—Zach Neto, Logan O’Hoppe, Jo Adell, Nolan Schanuel—while Anthony Rendon’s hip injury and a hefty $38.5 million contract cloud their payroll. MLB churn continues as several clubs changed managers after the season.
