Andy Pettitte Jersey , Calif. (AP) — Mike Scioscia says he would like to keep managing next year.The longtime skipper of the Los Angeles Angels has been widely expected to step down after the regular season concludes this week. His comments to KLAA-AM radio Monday night suggested he is open to returning for a 20th season in the Angels’ dugout, or perhaps a managing job elsewhere in baseball.When asked directly if he wanted to keep managing, Scioscia said: “I’d like to.”“We’ll continue to evaluate things this week,” Scioscia added. “I’ll speak with (Angels owner) Arte (Moreno) and speak with (general manager) Billy (Eppler), and kind of come to a decision. But I think that if you love something, you want to continue to keep doing it. If you can, great. And if it doesn’t happen, so be it. But I love the dugout.”Scioscia

Since taking over the team for the 2000 season, he has led the Angels to six AL West titles and their only World Series championship back in 2002.“I love managing,” Scioscia said. “I love the dugout. I love the challenge of getting the team and getting them going in the right direction. That’s something I thoroughly enjoy.”But Scioscia’s lucrative 10-year contract ends this season, and the Angels have made the playoffs just once in the last nine years despite annual high-priced rosters. They haven’t won a postseason game since 2009, a stretch that covers the entire concurrent Angels careers of Mike Trout and Albert Pujols.The Angels opened a season-ending homestand against Texas on Monday night. They will miss the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year. MLBPlayers' Association Executive Director Tony Clark said Friday players are concerned about agent Brodie Van Wagenen being a finalist for the New York Mets' general manager position.According to ESPN.com
David Robertson Jersey , Clark acknowledged that players are worried about Van Wagenen using information gained as an agent against them in negotiating contracts as a GM:"They understand the opportunities that exist for representatives to make the decisions that they are going to make. To the extent that possibility exists, I would be confident in suggesting that the understanding and appreciation for confidential information remains so."Clark also noted "membership is paying attention" in reference to the MLB Players' Association keeping close tabs on the situation.Van Wagenen represents several Mets players, including starting pitchers Jacob de Grom and Noah Syndergaard, as well as outfielder Yoenis Cespedes and third baseman Todd Frazier.He also represents Mets minor league outfielder and former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow.Agent Scott Boras appeared Friday on ESPN Radio and sympathized with the concern of players across Major League Baseball:"When you're fluid and you're going from agency to management, the fact of the matter is, how does a player know that you won't make that change at any time. Why would he tell you the most intimate things in the world, knowing you're going to be negotiating against him?"And more importantly, the owner that hires someone

How do they know that he won't shift that loyalty from you to the other side?"The 44-year-old Van Wagenen is the co-head of the baseball division at CAA Sports.He is interviewing to replace Sandy Alderson, who took aleave of absencefrom the organization in June after being diagnosed with cancer.The Mets went 77-85 in 2018, and they have reached the playoffs just twice since 2007.
