Interim general manager John Mozeliak is restructuring the Angels organization after trading away one-third of the active roster and firing three coaches. As the club approaches its first 100-loss season in franchise history, Mozeliak has shifted the draft strategy toward acquiring the best available talent rather than immediate major league impact. The front office reorganization involves elevating Matt Swanson to lead scouting operations and appointing new internal leaders for player development and research. While minor league talent ratings have improved, the major league roster remains thin as the team recently clinched its 11th consecutive losing season. Mozeliak intends to evaluate departmental leadership over the next month before deciding on a permanent general manager hire.

- •The club clinched its 11th consecutive losing season before September.
