The Los Angeles Angels lost a third member of their front office team assembled by former general manager Jerry Dipoto. Tim Bogar who served as a special assistant to Dipoto in Anaheim became the second member of the Angels front office to follow Dipoto to Seattle where he was named general manager earlier this month. Dipoto already plucked assistant general manager Scott Servais to replace Lloyd McClendon as the Mariners new manager. Now he has lured Bogar as well to Seattle to serve as Servais’ bench coach for the Mariners.
It probably comes as no surprise to new Los Angeles Angels general manager Billy Eppler that Dipoto would convince some of his former staff to follow him to Seattle.
