"Ron Washington will not return for a third season as the Los Angeles Angels manager, The Athletic reported. The Angels hadn't publicly announced their decision Tuesday on Washington, who missed roughly half of the current season after undergoing quadruple bypass heart surgery. Interim manager Ray Montgomery also won't be the Angels' next manager, according to the report. The 73-year-old Washington was the oldest manager in the majors during his two seasons with the Angels, who hired him in November 2023."
"Los Angeles had the worst season in franchise history in 2024, going 63-99 after the free-agency departure of two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani. The Angels went 72-90 this season and finished last in the AL West for the second straight season under Washington and Montgomery, the bench coach who stepped up in late June after Washington was sidelined by his health issues."
Ron Washington will not return as Los Angeles Angels manager after two seasons; interim Ray Montgomery also will not be retained. Washington missed roughly half of the season after undergoing quadruple bypass heart surgery and did not resume managerial duties despite being back in uniform at season's end. The Angels went 72-90 this season and 63-99 in 2024, finishing last in the AL West both years following Shohei Ohtani's free-agency departure. Owner Arte Moreno opted for another managerial change after 10 consecutive losing seasons and 11 straight non-playoff seasons. Washington previously had success with the Texas Rangers and won a World Series ring with the Braves.
