UNDATED (AP) – Another major league team is in the market for a manager.  Angels skipper Brad Ausmus has been dismissed after going 72-90 in his lone season at the helm. He took over for Mike Scioscia (SOH’-shuh), who led Los Angeles to its only World Series title in 2002 and lasted 19 years at the post.  The Angels have made the playoffs just once since 2009 and struggled this year despite the presence of star outfielder Mike Trout, two-way player Shohei Ohtani and others.  The dismissal has sparked speculation that former Angels bench coach Joe Maddon will take over. Maddon and the Cubs parted company on Sunday.
