The #Angels announce they declined the option on Phil Nevin's contract and will begin the process of hiring a new manager immediately. GM Perry Minasian will be available in a press conference tomorrow.

The Angels went 73-89 in Nevin’s first and only full season as the team’s manager. Nevin took over for Joe Maddon in 2022 after he had been fired amid a losing streak that dropped the Angels to 27-29. The Angels performed much worse under Nevin and went 46-60, finishing the season, 73-89 (yes, the Angels have had consecutive 73-89 finishes.)

Nevin was 119-149 as the team’s manager, which equates to a .444 winning percentage. The Angels have had eight straight losing seasons and have not made the playoffs since 2014. They have had tremendous turnover since then when it comes to both their managers and front office.

Since 2014 the Angels will have had
