Ron Washington\'s Goal With Angels: \'To Run The West Down\'
The Los Angeles Angels have no plans to rebuild in 2024, with new manager Ron Washington setting lofty goals for next season.
Washington, 71, was formally introduced on Wednesday. He\'s the club\'s fifth manager in eight years.
\"If you remember now -- I was in Texas, and guess what we did? We ran the Angels down,\" Washington said. \"Now I\'m in California, with the Anaheim Angels -- well, the Los Angeles Angels. I\'ll get that in my head. Once we get things together, we get these guys together in spring training and start to work, our whole focus is gonna be to run the West down. And you can take that to the bank and deposit it.\"
Washington managed the Texas Rangers for eight seasons, guiding the team to the World Series in 2010 and 2011.
\"We\'re going to be aggressive this offseason,\" general manager Perry Minasian said, \"and we\'re going to make this team better.\"
