Los Angeles, CA – The Los Angeles Angels organization announced today that manager Ron Washington has officially agreed to a two-year contract extension, solidifying his role at the helm of the team through the 2027 season. The extension comes as a significant vote of confidence for the veteran skipper, who has navigated a challenging period for the franchise.
Washington, who was initially hired on a two-year deal back in November 2023, has brought a sense of stability and a “get-after-it” mentality to the Angels clubhouse. The team’s decision to extend his contract, which was set to expire at the conclusion of the 2025 season, signals a desire for long-term consistency and a belief in Washington’s vision.
General Manager Perry Minasian, who himself received a contract extension last year, has been a strong supporter of Washington’s leadership. Minasian has often praised the 73-year-old manager for his ability to hold players accountable and foster a strong work ethic. The two executives, now locked in for the foreseeable future, are tasked with rebuilding a franchise that has struggled to find sustained success in recent years.
While the Angels have had an up-and-down season, the organization seems to be focusing on the positive developments under Washington’s watch. The Angels’ young core has shown flashes of promise, and the team’s ability to remain competitive despite significant injuries has been a point of pride for the front office. With the new deal in place, Washington will have the opportunity to continue developing these players and build a foundation for future contention.
This contract extension marks a new chapter for both Washington and the Angels. It provides the team with a clear direction and allows Washington to continue his work without the speculation of an expiring contract hanging over the team. The move sends a message to players and fans alike that the organization is committed to Washington’s leadership as they work to return to the postseason.
