Jerry Dipoto‘s tenure as the Los Angeles Angels‘ general manager has come to an end because of the animosity between him and manager Mike Scioscia. Reports of ongoing friction between Dipoto and Scioscia surfaced Monday. The Angels have yet to confirm this.
Apparently Dipoto and the coaching staff has a heated meeting on Monday because he was unpleased that the Angels’ staff was not making a better effort to convey scouting information and statistical data to the players that was provided by the front office.
It is rumored that Dipoto gave owner Arte Moreno an ultimatum that “backfired” and was soon packing his belongings after the meeting.
