Jerry Dipoto, who abruptly resigned July 1 as Angels general manager in the wake of renewed friction with Manager Mike Scioscia, was a guest of Jim Bowden and Casey Stern on SiriusXM’s MLB Network Radio channel Thursday. Among the excerpts:
Question: Can you say what happened with the Angels?
Answer: To be fair to all parties involved, and to be as truthful as I can, this was for the best for me personally, for the Angels organization, for Mike [Scioscia] and the players in the clubhouse. Sometimes it requires difficult decisions for the greater good.
