The new Los Angeles Angels front office is working with a former adversary, as the American League West team has hired Eric Chavez.
According to Joe Stiglich of CSN Bay Area, Chavez will work as a special assistant to new Angels general manager Billy Eppler.
Stiglich noted there is a built-in connection between Eppler and Chavez. The pair were together with the New York Yankees in 2011-12 when Chavez was still playing and Eppler was the team's scouting director in 2011 before being promoted to assistant general manager under Brian Cashman in 2012.
