"The Angels have been without manager Ron Washington since late June after he went on medical leave away from the team, and he revealed to reporters last month that he was recovering from quadruple bypass surgery. Even in spite of that recovery from major surgery, however, the 73-year-old still hopes to manage the Angels in 2026. Washington reaffirmed that desire in a conversation with Sam Blum of The Athletic, who reports to today that Washington has not yet spoken to Halos owner Arte Moreno"
"There's a number of factors at play that could be weighing on Moreno's mind as he decides what direction to take the club moving forward. The most obvious, perhaps, is the team's lengthy playoff drought and disappointing results in recent years. The Angels have 88 losses with two games left to go in the 2025 season, and that performance comes on the heels of last year's 99-loss campaign and back-to-back 89-loss seasons in 2022 and '23."
Ron Washington has been on medical leave since late June after quadruple bypass surgery and remains hopeful to manage the Angels in 2026. He has not yet spoken with owner Arte Moreno or GM Perry Minasian about his future but hopes to meet Moreno in the next few days. The Halos hold a club option on Washington for 2026 while Minasian has one year remaining on his contract. Interim manager Ray Montgomery has expressed uncertainty about his future but remains a candidate. The Angels have endured 88 losses with two games remaining in 2025 after a string of poor seasons and continue to rely on Mike Trout's health.
