Bullpen coach Charles Nagy was shown the door on Tuesday by the Angels, in the first of what may be a wholesale purge of former manager Mike Scioscia’s coaching staff.
Nagy, 51, will be replaced on new skipper Brad Ausmus’ staff in Anaheim by Doug White, who had just completed his first season on the Houston Astros’ staff as bullpen coach.
Of all of Scioscia’s former coaches, Nagy was one whose job was presumed to be fairly secure, given his positive track record despite limited resources.
The news was broken this morning by Houston beat writer Jake Kaplan and senior writer Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
