ANAHEIM, CA — The Los Angeles Angels parted ways with manager Phil Nevin Monday, opting against picking up the option on his contract and starting the search for a new clubhouse leader.

"The club will begin the process of hiring a new manager immediately," according to a statement from the Angels.

There was some speculation that General Manager Perry Minasian might also be shown the door in Anaheim, but his job appears secure. Minasian is expected to hold a news conference Tuesday to discuss Nevin's departure.
