Angels promote two assistant general managers amid front office restructuring

Summary

The Los Angeles Angels promoted Michael Lord and Matt Swanson to assistant general manager roles on Monday. They join existing assistant general managers Joey Prebynski and David Haynes as the club continues an organizational overhaul under interim general manager John Mozeliak. Alongside these appointments, the franchise released five area scouts and two crosscheckers while opting not to renew the contract of special assistant Ray Montgomery. Mozeliak stated the personnel changes aim to align the team's approach to player acquisitions across the amateur, professional, and international departments. The front office changes follow a series of coaching staff departures earlier in the season. Mozeliak remains in the interim general manager role as the team continues to prioritize internal structural improvements over a permanent executive search.
