Nevin's contract expired at the end of the regular season and he was told it would not be renewed. General manager Perry Minasian will hold a press conference Tuesday.

Nevin's tenure ends after he took over as manager after Joe Maddon was fired in June 2022. He finished last season with a 46-60 managerial record as the team missed the playoffs.

In the first full season under Nevin in 2023, the Angels had high hopes this season of returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2014, led by two-way star Shohei Ohtani and outfielder Mike Trout.

Ohtani suffered a season-ending torn UCL and team placed six veterans on waivers by the end of August. The Angels finished the season 73-89, fourth in the American League West and 17 games behind the division-winning Houston Astros.
