Phil Nevin gets 1-year deal to manage Angels next season

Phil Nevin, who has been serving as interim manager of the Los Angeles Angels since June, has been given a one-year contract to manage the club next season, the team announced Wednesday.

Nevin took over the team on an interim basis on June 8, following the firing of Joe Maddon, who was ousted amid a losing streak that eventually reached 14 games.

The Angels have a 46-59 record since the team’s newly announced skipper took on the interim role. Terms of the one-year deal were not announced.

Nevin will lead a team in the midst of a transitional period, with owner Arte Moreno announcing in August that he is exploring a possible sale of the franchise.
