ESPN REPORT: Los angeles angels coach has being fired some minutes ago after.....

John Carpino and Joe Maddon sat in a nondescript conference room for a video call in late September 2020, the Angels’ team president and then-manager conducting a postmortem on yet another disappointing season, this one ending with a sixth straight empty October and the firing of a general manager.

“Obviously, we’re not doing it the right way, we’re not winning games,” Carpino said after the Angels failed to make an expanded 16-team playoff field in the pandemic-shortened season. “So, something is not right in our organization.”

Nearly two years later, little is right in the organization.

The Angels, despite employing a pair of generational talents in center fielder Mike Trout and two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani, are spiraling toward their seventh consecutive losing season, which would match a stretch from 1971 to 1977 for the longest streak of futility in franchise history.

They’ve shelled out more than $1 billion to free agents over the last 12 years, including $245 million to Anthony Rendon, $240 million to Albert Pujols and $125 million to Josh Hamilton, another half-billion in two contracts to Trout and have zero playoff victories to show for it, their last postseason win coming in 2009.
