3 decisions Angels GM Perry Minasian must make to justify contract extension

Angels GM Perry Minasian Needs to Extend Ron Washington Deal

Ron Washington is one of the most respected managers in the game. Players flock to him and he knows how to win games while keeping the clubhouse in order. Washington, in his first year with the Angels, is signed through the 2025 season. If Minasian wants to succeed long term and build a connection with his manager, he needs to hold on to Washington.

In four years as general manager, Minasian is already on his third coach. He started out with Joe Maddon, then moved on to Phil Nevin before hiring Washington. Again, this is in large part due to working under Arte Moreno. Having said that, Minasian needs to do a better job of wrestling control away from the meddling, unskilled owner.

Keep Washington, and maybe a culture will actually be created.
