Joe Maddon could be returning to Anaheim.
The Angels fired manager Brad Ausmus Monday after just one season, and ESPN reports Maddon is likely to return to the organization with which he held various roles for 30 years from 1975-2005, including two brief stints as manager. The Cubs announced Sunday Maddon wouldn’t be returning to Chicago.
So if the Mets decide to move on from Mickey Callaway, they won’t have a shot at the top managerial candidate on the market.
Ausmus, 50, was a special assistant for the Angels in 2018 after four seasons as Tigers manager.
