Interim GM John Mozeliak aims to get Angels to

John Mozeliak is in Anaheim for one clear-cut purpose: to set the muse for the Angels to get back on monitor.

At his introductory news convention at Angel Stadium on Saturday, the staff’s new baseball operations guide and interim common supervisor laid out his imaginative and prescient for success — while acknowledging current woes — alongside Molly Jolly, at some point after the first-year Angels president relieved common supervisor Perry Minasian of his duties amid his sixth straight shedding season.

“Obviously, [the Angels] lacked consistency in terms of when you think about winning, right? Because that’s the proxy,” Mozeliak said. “There’s a lot of things we can use to determine if the organization is healthy or not. … Where Molly and I are connecting on this is like, we understand wins and losses matter, but how do you get to a place where that becomes consistent?

“Look at the best clubs in baseball [and] what you admire; whether they’re large-market or small-market, they have a philosophy, they have direction, and they stick to it, right? … That’s ultimately what we need to do here, and that’s hopefully something I can help bring to them.”

Mozeliak spent 18 seasons (2008-25) as common supervisor of the St. Louis Cardinals, a tenure consisting of 10 playoff appearances and a World Series victory in 2011.

The 57-year-old intends to “audit” the Angels in this new position alongside Jolly, with plans to rent a common supervisor by the time Mozeliak’s contract is up “sometime in December.”

“I brought on board John Mozeliak to assist me in preparing a baseball operation strategy as well as guide me in the search for a new general manager,” Jolly said, mentioning that her choice to fire Minasian and convey in Mozeliak had brewed for weeks.

“I did this because John has a proven track record of building and maintaining winning baseball cultures, and my goal is to bring that here to the Angels.”

Mozeliak didn’t rule himself out as the long-term reply at common supervisor and was emphatic about not talking in absolutes. However, the longtime government said he’d moderately help Jolly “bridge the gap” during the Angels’ transformative period before anything.

The Angels have a lot of gaps coming into Saturday’s matchup with the Athletics. The Angels are tied for last in the American League with a 34-49 document while on the highway to a twelfth consecutive end out of the playoffs.

And all of that is before mentioning the “sell the team” chants that flood the right-field higher deck at Angel Stadium at each home recreation as ex-Angel Shohei Ohtani thrives with the Dodgers.

Mozeliak understands that the Angels have lacked direction in current seasons. He requested for endurance in rebuilding the staff alongside Jolly.

“I knew coming in, this isn’t going to be something where Molly and I had a light switch and everything just starts working perfectly,” Mozeliak said. “It’s not going to work that way. … I would ask for some patience. We need a little time to sort of work through this … when we come out on the other end of this tunnel, we hope to be in a very successful place.”

Jolly said of Angels followers’ discontent, “I know what’s happening. I see it, I hear it. Fans have a right to have their voices be heard. Didn’t influence the decision that I wanted to make, but we all want to win. Our owner wants to win. I do. The fans deserve that, and that’s what we’re going to work toward.”

Mozeliak acknowledged he’d already forgotten some names of Angels personnel he was launched to Saturday. But he also said that first-year supervisor Kurt Suzuki and the remaining of the teaching employees’s jobs are secure through the season.

“I met with most of them this morning, and I told them they’re all fine for this year,” Mozeliak said. “There’s nothing they have to worry about. We’re not making any coaching changes right now. I really just need to get to know them, right?”

Mozeliak spoke to Suzuki on Saturday and said that he and his employees are “very impressive.”

Across the board, Mozeliak — who hasn’t yet met proprietor Arte Moreno since transferring into this position — is concentrated on realizing who the Angels are at this level, with an “aggressive timeline” looming in the background.

With that said, Mozeliak shared that he isn’t “overly concerned” with the Aug. 3 commerce deadline, neither is he frightened about the MLB draft, which begins July 11.

“My philosophy on the draft is to let the scouting director and his team do their jobs,” Mozeliak said. “The only real input I’m going to have is … understanding their process … and then if there are some financial decisions that are being banked into who we pick and why.”

Jolly introduced in Mozeliak to help the Angels rent their fourth full-time common supervisor since 2012.

And while many may consider not a lot will change as long as Moreno stays the proprietor, Jolly said she has “autonomy” to assess the Angels’ baseball operations and is “confident in my authority and scope within the organization.”

Those invested in the Angels will consider it when they see it.

“When I think about the Angels right now, I just look at it as a very opportunistic time here,” Mozeliak said. “New leadership on the business side; we’re going to put a great team on the baseball side.

“But it’s going to be a place that I hope, in a couple years, we’re all proud of.”
