It’s official: Jerry Dipoto out as GM, Bill Stoneman is interim GM

The Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. made it official – Jerry Dipoto is out as the team’s general manager. The team has named former general manager and current team senior adviser Bill Stoneman as interim GM.

Stoneman served in the office from November 1999 to October 2007, during which time the Angels won three division titles and a league championship and World
Series title in 2002 while compiling a record of 703-593 (.542).

Stoneman, a former major-league pitcher who tossed two no-hitters for the Montreal Expos, is a 1962 graduate of West Covina High School. He also attended Mt.
San Antonio College.

Dipoto took over as GM in October 2011. In his 3 1/2 years at the helm, the Angels went 306-258 with one playoff appearance. That was in 2014, when the Angels compiled a major-league best record of 98-64, winning the AL West before being swept by the Kansas City Royals in the first round.

The Angels had recently extended Dipoto’s contract through the 2016 season.

Stoneman hired Mike Scioscia to manage the Angels in 2000.
