ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — General manager Perry Minasian has agreed to a two-year contract extension through 2026 with the Los Angeles Angels. Minasian agreed to the deal Thursday with the Angels, who are finishing up what’s almost certain to be their fourth consecutive losing season during his tenure. Minasian joined the Angels before the 2021 season on a four-year contract as a first-time general manager. “Over the last four years, Perry and his baseball operations staff have begun to lay the foundation for a bright future of Angels baseball,” owner Arte Moreno said in a statement. “We have been impressed by the steps Perry has taken to infuse our major league team with young and exciting talent while also revamping our player development process. We believe this extension will allow him to continue the vision of building sustainable success throughout the Angels organization and deliver a championship for our fans.” The Angels are keeping Minasian with an eye on continuity for a franchise with eight consecutive losing seasons and nine straight non-playoff seasons, both the longest active droughts in the majors. The current Angels (54-73) are on pace for the team’s lowest winning percentage since 1994.

Instead of Haven of Hope providing migrants with cash assistance on debit cards, it will instead provide “culturally appropriate” food, if the change is approved by the full council.
