The 2020 Los Angeles Angels' season was the 60th season of the Los Angeles Angels franchise in the American League and the 55th in Anaheim. The Angels were managed by Joe Maddon, in his first season as manager of the Angels. The Angels played their home games at Angel Stadium as members of Major League Baseball's American League West Division. Los Angeles opened the season on July 24 at the Oakland Athletics and finished the season at the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Angels finished the season 26–34 to finish in fourth place in the division.
The season was shortened to a 60-game schedule due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[1]
Previous season[]
The Angels finished the 2019 season 72–90 to finish in last place in the West Division. On September 30, 2019, the Angels fired manager Brad Ausmus after only one season with the Angels.[2]
Coaching changes[]
After the club had fired Ausmus, speculation increased that the Angels would hire Joe Maddon, who had previously a bench coach with the Angels and spent 20 years in the Angels' system.[2] On October 16, the Angels named Maddon the team's new manager.[3]
COVID-19 effects on season[]
On March 12, 2020, MLB announced that because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the start of the regular season would be delayed by at least two weeks in addition to the remainder of spring training being cancelled.[4] Four days later, it was announced that the start of the season would be pushed back indefinitely due to the recommendation made by the CDC to restrict events of more than 50 people for eight weeks.[5] On June 23, commissioner Rob Manfred unilaterally implemented a 60-game season. Players reported to training camps on July 1 in order to resume spring training and prepare for a July 24 Opening Day.[6]
