Mozeliak Joins Angels as Interim GM

The Angels have tapped John Mozeliak, the Cardinals’ former GM and 2011 World Series winner, as interim GM to steer them through the draft and trade deadline. Though his contract ends in December, he’s open to staying longer. Mozeliak, brought in by president Molly Jolly via mutual connection, plans to keep the current staff intact while evaluating everyone. He’ll meet with owner Arte Moreno to align on strategy, focusing on the August 3 trade deadline—potentially moving stars like Soriano, Detmers, or Neto. Jolly, in her first season, sees Mozeliak as the bridge between her business background and baseball operations, with a permanent GM likely named after the deadline. Mozeliak’s role is to build a long-term winning culture while trusting the current team to navigate immediate challenges. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
