Minutes after the team's loss in the season finale against the Dodgers on Sunday, the Angels announced they would not retain general manager Billy Eppler. Eppler had led the franchise's front office for the past five seasons.
Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic was first to report the news of Eppler's firing, speculating that team owner Arte Moreno could look to Dave Dombrowski as a potential replacement. Dombrowski has previously worked as the head of baseball operations for the Expos, Marlins, Tigers and Red Sox, winning World Series titles with the Marlins in 1997 and Boston in 2018.
