Brad Ausmus will not be managing next season, but he will still be working in the major leagues. Yesterday, the Los Angeles Angels hired Brad Ausmus as a special assistant to the GM.
It’s a smart move for all parties involved. Tigers fans often griped about specific managerial decisions made by Brad Ausmus, but he is undoubtedly one of the bright minds in baseball. It’s a smart decision by the Angels to bring Ausmus in as a consultant, and Ausmus gets to take that year off from the skipper position, and gain experience on the inner workings of the front office.
