Joe Maddon fired by Angels: Manager out in midst of 12-game losing streak, says he was surprised by decision

Joe Maddon has been fired as manager of the Los Angeles Angels. The team is on a 12-game losing streak. Third base coach Phil Nevin will replace Maddons for the remainder of 2022 season. The Halos are 6-18 since their 21-11 start. They are 1 1/2 games behind the sixth and final American League wild card spot. Their payroll is $188.6 million this season, but they are trying to make a run at a postseason spot this year. Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani are signed long-term, and they have a free agent after next season: Anthony Rendon and Taylor Ward.
