  "account": "The Los Angeles Angels are currently seeking a permanent general manager following the dismissal of Perry Minasian on June 26. As of September 17, the Angels are one of three organizations searching for a new lead front-office official, alongside the Athletics and Houston Astros. According to a Yahoo Sports report, the Angels may have become more attractive following the announced sale of the team to Stan Kroenke for a record $4 billion.\n\nThe Angels' job has now risen to the top of every executive's list, according to one American League general manager. The organization, with its massive resources and an empty slate, is sure to attract many eager executives. The team's fan base, frustrated during games, has been vocal in their demand for Moreno to sell the franchise, which he has now done.\n\nJohn Mozeliak has been appointed as the team's Baseball Operations Consultant and interim general manager. Mozeliak has spent 30 years with the St. Louis Cardinals, serving as the head of the club's baseball operations for 18 years. However, he was not anticipated to be the permanent replacement as general manager upon his hiring.\n\nTampa Bay Rays senior advisor Jon Daniels and Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes received the most votes in a Yahoo Sports survey of 24 MLB executives, who were asked to name potential general manager candidates for the short list. Additionally, Dodgers special advisor Farhan Zaidi also received a vote.",
