Jeremy Reed and Matt Wise

[mmc]

What do you think will be their future with the team?

[Angel Oracle]

The hitting results say Reed won’t be back.

The pitching results say Wise will be back.

They'll add a different assistant hitting and bullpen coach. Maybe replace Gallego.

Yeah Gallego is the one guy that I can't place one way or another.

I hope they poach Dino Ebel from the Dodgers for 3rd base, and it gives them a candidate to take over when Nevin starts April 6-14.

Here’s my prediction:

Stays: Montgomery, Wise Chiti, Sorrento, Mashore, Gil, Hasselman, Butera, and Del Campo.

Goes: Reed, Mallee, Gallego, Brown, and Buss.

 

Montgomery, Chiti, Gil, Hasselman, and Butera were all brought in by Minasian, so I expect them to stay.

Wise probably stays because the pitchers have done good. Sorrento has been here since like 2015 so I think Trout must like him or something and so he probably stays. Mashore and Del Campo each got promoted by Minasian last offseason, so I think they stay.

Mallee and Buss were brought in by Maddon, so I’d be surprised if they stay.

Reed, Gallego, and Brown are all holdovers from Eppler, so I doubt they stay.

The fact that he’s a holdover from Eppler/Ausmus and that he got striped of defensive positioning duties after Maddon got fired makes me think he won’t stay.

I’m unsure of whether Mashore stays or goes.

He was promoted by Minasian, but it seemed like that was only because they couldn’t get Adam Eaton and Mashore was the minor league OF coordinator.

Mike Trout likes Jeremy Reed so I'm guessing both will stay. 

[AngelsFaninGA]

I imagine both stay. Whoever is the bullpen coach needs to go though

Mike Trout liked Billy Eppler— as did Shohei Ohtani— but he didn’t stay.

Reed cannot return next season. He hasn’t done anything to show he should stay.

And don’t point to Taylor Ward’s turnaround as a reason for Reed to stay, because Ward’s turnaround was a result of him working with his friend (a former Astros minor leaguer) and not Reed.

The bullpen coach probably has the greatest chance of staying, as he was one of the first three people Minasian hired once he was named Angels GM.

I played ball with Gags.  Hope he is retained.  Good man.  Has a ring.  Knows his stuff and works well with the infielders

If Sam Blum were a better journalist he would have gotten a straighter answer out of Nevin.

You once told me to stop being so negative and that is all you are doing. Ebel is not coming here why would he leave Dodgers.

This team easily led the major leagues in strikeouts, it's what did them in this season.  This team was striking out on an epic pace at around the middle of the season.  It makes too much sense to let Reed walk.  29 other teams would have let him go yesterday.  These are the Angels.  He stays.
