Breaking News: Los Angeles Angels Head Coach Ron Washington Signs Two-Year Contract Extension
Los Angeles, CA — July 26, 2025 — In a major development for the Los Angeles Angels and their fans, head coach Ron Washington has officially signed a two-year contract extension with the team, solidifying his role through the 2027 MLB season.
Washington, 72, originally took over as the Angels’ manager prior to the 2024 season, bringing with him a wealth of experience and a reputation for player development, leadership, and defensive excellence. Since his arrival, the Angels have shown marked improvement in their on-field discipline and team chemistry — two key reasons why the organization has moved quickly to retain his services.
General Manager Perry Minasian praised Washington’s impact in a press release:
“Ron has been everything we hoped for and more. His leadership, knowledge of the game, and passion have brought a new energy to the clubhouse. We are thrilled to have him continue leading this team.”
Under Washington’s leadership, the Angels have remained competitive in a tough AL West division, despite roster challenges and injuries. His influence on young stars like Zach Neto and Logan O’Hoppe, as well as his ability to connect with veterans, has been cited as a transformative factor in the clubhouse.
“I’m honored to continue this journey with the Angels,” Washington said during a media availability following the announcement. “We’re building something special here. There’s still a lot of work to do, but I believe in this team, and I believe in where we’re headed.”
A beloved figure around Major League Baseball, Washington previously managed the Texas Rangers from 2007 to 2014, leading them to back-to-back World Series appearances. Prior to joining the Angels, he served as a respected third base coach and infield instructor for the Atlanta Braves, helping shape their championship-caliber defense.
The extension signals stability for the Angels as they look to continue their rebuild and pursue postseason relevance. With a mix of rising talent and experienced leadership, fans hope Washington’s presence can help end the team’s long playoff drought.
Details of the financial terms of the extension have not yet been disclosed.
