MLB: Los Angeles: Manager wants to continue

What about Manager Mike Scioscia of the Los Angeles Angels? Contrary to previous reports, he now wants to continue, as he revealed on Monday.

He told the radio station KLAA-AM on Monday that he hadn’t finished his manager job yet. “We will evaluate some things this week,” Scioscia said, adding: “I will talk to Angels owner Arte Moreno and General Manager Billy Eppler and then somehow come to a decision. But I think if you love something, you want to keep doing it. If you can, it’s great. And if you can’t, then that’s the way it is. But I love the dugout.”

Turning 60 in November, Mike Scioscia is the eldest of all major league managers and has worked for the Angels since 2000, which he led to the 2002 World Series triumph.

“I love managing and I love the dugout. I love the challenge of leading the team in the right direction. That’s something I enjoy extensively,” Scioscia continued.

Scioscia’s ten-year contract for $50 million expires at the end of this season. The Angels have only reached the playoffs once in the last nine years, although they always had a highly paid squad and Mike Trout was the best baseball player in their ranks. The Angels have not won a playoff game since 2009.
