Now 73 years old, Washington was hired as Angels Manager before the 2024 season. But he had to take an unlimited leave from the team in June because of what was an unmaminated health problem at the time (with bank coach Ray Montgomery who intervened as an interim manager). Last month Washington revealed that he was forced to undergo a four -fold bypass operation in the summer.

During his time, Washington only gone 99-137 (.419) to actively manage the angels (although the record of Montgomery of 36-50 (.419) has also counted for the official record of Washington). As it looks now, Washington has a club option for the 2026 season that the team still has to decide. Although Washington, who is already the oldest active manager in MLB, wants to clearly return to the Angels Dugout next year, it is currently unclear whether the organization feels the same about him.
