[edit]

California/Anaheim/Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (1975–2005)

[edit]

In 1979, after spending four seasons trying to make it as a catcher in the Angels organization, Maddon decided to give up his playing career and become a coach.[7]He started as a scout and would continue on to such positions as manager in the Angels farm system and Minor League roving hitting instructor.[8]

As a minor league manager, he had a 279–339 (.451) record in six seasons.[4]He managed in the minors from 1981 to 1986, each team having a losing record. His stops included managing theIdaho Falls Angelsof theRookie League(1981), theClass ASalem Angels(1982–1983), Class APeoria Chiefs(1984), and theClass AAMidland Angels(1985–1986). After serving as Minor League roving instructor from 1987 to 1993, Maddon was promoted to the big league club as a coach.[6]

Maddon served as a major league coach for the Angels from 1994 to 2005.[9]He held such positions as first base coach, bench coach, and interim manager on three occasions following the hospitalization ofJohn McNamarain 1996, the suspension ofTerry Collinsin 1998, and Collins' eventual departure in 1999. He finished with a combined record of 27 wins and 24 losses as interim manager.[10]He also served underMarcel Lachemannfrom 1993 to 1994. While he served as bench coach under McNamara and Collins, he rotated positions often. He finally found stability when the Angels hiredMike Sciosciain 1999. He served as Scioscia's bench coach from 2000 to 2005, winning aWorld Seriesring in 2002. By the time Maddon left Anaheim, he had spent 31 years overall with the Angels organization.[11]Maddon was considered a candidate for theBoston Red Soxmanager job in 2004, which went toTerry Francona.[12]

Tampa Bay Devil Rays/Rays (2006–2014)

[edit]

2006–2007

[edit]
Maddon with the Rays

On November 15, 2005, Maddon was hired to manage theTampa Bay Devil Rays.[citation needed]The Rays went 121–197 (.381) in Maddon's first two seasons.[13]The Rays were in yet another re-building phase, this time under the management of General ManagerAndrew Friedman.Tampa Bay held the lowest payroll in baseball at $44 million. They had yet to have a winning season but were hopeful due to the development of young homegrown starsDavid Price,Evan Longoria,James ShieldsandB. J. Upton.Unlike his predecessor,Lou Piniella,Maddon preached patience in developing a young core of players while enduring back to back 90+ game losing seasons.[14]

2008 season

[edit]

In 2008, Maddon guided the newly renamed Rays to the first winning season and division title in franchise history. He led a team of young players that won the American League East over the heavily favoredNew York YankeesandBoston Red Sox.[15]Maddon's team recorded the franchise's first playoff series victory in the2008 American League Division Series(ALDS) vs. theChicago White Soxby 3–1 and a 4-games-to-3 triumph over the rival Red Sox in the2008 American League Championship Series(ALCS). This was the firstWorld Seriesappearance for the Rays, in which Tampa Bay held home-field advantage against thePhiladelphia Phillies.The Phillies won the World Series in five games. Maddon won theAmerican LeagueManager of the Year Award.[16]He also received theChuck Tanner Major League Baseball Manager of the Year Award.[17]

2009 season

[edit]

On May 25, 2009, the Tampa Bay Rays and Maddon agreed to a contract extension that would keep him manager of the Rays through 2012. He had been in the final year of his initial contract with the team. The Rays stated that there was "never a question" on whether to keep Maddon after the conclusion of the 2009 season.[18]

On July 14, 2009, Maddon managed the American League All Star team to a 4–3 victory. Controversy accompanied his failure to pick second basemanIan Kinsleras a reserve, despite Kinsler having narrowly come in second in the fan voting, the player voting, and the "Sprint Final Vote" competition. To replace fellow second basemanDustin Pedroia,Maddon instead chose Tampa Bay's first basemanCarlos Peña.[19][20][21][22][23][24]Similarly, to replace Longoria, Maddon choseChone Figginsof the Angels.[24]

2010 season

[edit]

When MLB ordered in April 2010 that managers and coaches wear the official team jacket or approved Majestic pullover over their jersey, and not "hoodies",Maddon complained that" it's almost like a security blanket for me. Managing without a hoodie on a cool night could be very disconcerting. Furthermore, I think it's wrong. "[25]MLB reversed their decision a few days later.[26]

On September 28, 2010, the Rays clinched their second playoff berth in team history. This was their second playoff appearance in three years. They finished the year at 96–66.[27]The Rays won their second AL East championship, but lost to theTexas Rangers3–2 in the2010 ALDS.[28]

2011–2013

[edit]

In 2011, the Rays made a second consecutive playoff appearance, clinching the American League Wild Card on the final day of the season, despite an 0–6 start to the season and a nine-game deficit in the wild card race in September. The Rays lost in the2011 ALDSto the Rangers 3 games to 1. After the end of the season Maddon was named the ALManager of the Yearfor the second time in his career.[29]On February 13, 2012, the Rays signed Maddon to a three-year extension.[30]

On April 16, 2012, in a game against theRed Sox,Maddon won his 500th career game as manager.[31]The Rays finished the season at 90–72, good for third place in the AL East and third in the AL Wild Card.[32]

Maddon earned his 600th win on May 8, 2013, with a victory over theToronto Blue Jays.[33]Maddon earned his 700th win on May 25, 2014, with a victory over the Boston Red Sox.[34]The Rays finished the season with a 92–71 record, clinching the American League Wild Card. They lost the2013 ALDSto the Boston Red Sox, 3-games-to-1.[35]

2014 season

[edit]

The Rays finished with their worst record in seven years, at 77–85.[10]They lostMatt MooretoTommy John surgeryand dealt with constant trade rumors regarding such stars asDavid PriceandBen Zobrist.Price would end up being traded to theDetroit Tigers,while Zobrist finished the season in St. Petersburg. The Rays dealt with a flurry of injuries, and never recovered. They were eliminated from postseason contention on September 19.[36]

On October 14, 2014, Rays' General ManagerAndrew Friedmanleft Tampa Bay to assume the role of President of Baseball Operations for theLos Angeles Dodgers.[37]Friedman's departure activated an opt-out clause in Maddon's contract, allowing Maddon to do so within two weeks of Friedman's resignation. The Rays tried "aggressively" to re-sign Maddon, during that period, but Maddon opted out of his contract.[38]Maddon finished his tenure with a record of 754 wins and 705 losses.[10]

Exit from Tampa Bay

[edit]

Almost immediately after news broke of Maddon's departure from St. Petersburg, rumors started linking him to the Cubs' managerial position; which, at the time was held byRick Renteria.Cubs management had promised Renteria he would indeed be returning to manage the club in 2015 following the completion of the 2014 season.[39]On November 2, 2014, the Cubs announced that they had fired Renteria and hired Maddon.[40]Maddon's contract was for five years and $25 million.[41]Renteria was offered a variety of other positions with the Cubs, which he declined.[42]After being fired by the Cubs, Renteria signed on as theChicago White Soxbench coach for the 2016 season, and became the team manager in 2017.[43]

The Rays filed tampering charges with MLB, claiming that the only reason Maddon opted out in Tampa Bay was due to his becoming aware that the Cubs would offer him a deal that would make him the highest paid manager in the game. Cubs PresidentTheo Epsteinclaimed that he had sent an email to MLB to be certain that Maddon was indeed a free agent before contacting him about their managerial position.[44]On April 29, 2015, MLB cleared the Cubs of any tampering charges.[45]

Chicago Cubs (2015–2019)

[edit]

Maddon managed theChicago Cubsfrom 2015 to 2019, breaking the Cubs' 108-year World Series Championship drought in his second year with a 4–3 series win over theCleveland Indians.His.581 winning percentage is the most for a Cubs manager sinceFrank Chance,and his 19 playoff victories as manager are a team record, as are the team's four consecutive playoff berths from 2015 to 2018. Following the Cubs quick exit from the 2018 playoffs, the Cubs opted not to give Maddon an extension on his five-year contract, which the team allowed to expire after Chicago failed to make the playoffs the following year.

2015–2016

[edit]
Maddon with the Chicago Cubs in 2016.

On May 14, 2015, Maddon logged his 800th managerial win in a 6–5 home victory over theNew York Mets,placing him eighth among active managers.[46]In June, on a road trip to play the Mets, Maddon brought in a magician to perform in the Cubs clubhouse. The Cubs had lost five straight games and it was something Maddon had done before with the Rays.[47]At the conclusion of the first half of the season, the Cubs held a record of 47–40, good for third place in the highly contestedNational League Centraldivision. The Cubs had finished in last place for three consecutive seasons.[48]

After coming out sluggishly after the All Star Break,Cole Hamelsof thePhiladelphia Philliesno-hitthe Cubs atWrigley Fieldon July 25.[49]Following a sweep by the Phillies, the team with the worst record in baseball, the Cubs went on a nine-game winning streak, and at the time held the best road record in the Majors.[50]The Cubs continued their hot streak throughout the second half of the season, which included a no-hitter byJake Arrietaon August 30 inLos Angeles.[51]On September 26, following aSan Francisco Giantsloss to theOakland Athletics,the Cubs clinched their first postseason berth since2008.[52]They finished the season with 97 wins, an improvement of 24 over2014and their first 97-win season since 2008.[53]

In theNational League Wild Card Game,the Cubs defeated thePittsburgh Piratesby a score of 4–0 atPNC Parkon acomplete gameshutoutfrom Arrieta, advancing to theNational League Division Series(NLDS) to face theSt. Louis Cardinals.The win marked the Cubs' first postseason victory since Game 4 of the2003 National League Championship Series(NLCS).[54]After losing game 1 in St. Louis, the Cubs went on to win three straight, winning the NLDS at Wrigley Field. This was the Cubs' first ever postseason clinch at Wrigley Field.[55]The Cubs played the Mets in theNLCS,but lost in four games.[56]After the season, Maddon won the National League Manager of the Year Award.[57]

Maddon's youngCubsteam entered the 2016 season as the bookmakers' favorite to win theWorld Series.[58]They started the season on a tear, taking over first place in theNL Centralon April 11, a lead they never relinquished.[59]By May 10, the Cubs had a record of 25–6 (0.806 win percentage) with a commanding 8.5 game lead in their division.[60]The team would go on to post a 103–58 regular season record, their first 100-win season in over 80 years, and led their division by as many as 19 games. They entered the postseason as heavy favorites, and dispatched theGiantsin four games with an amazing four-run 9th inning comeback in the clincher atAT&T Park.On October 22, 2016, the Cubs beat theLos Angeles Dodgersin Game 6 of theNLCS,earning their first pennant since1945,also allowing Maddon to join the small list of managers who won pennants in both leagues. Their streak of not winning a pennant was the longest in MLB history, lasting 71 years.[61]They beat theCleveland Indiansin Game 7 of the World Series, for their first World Series title in 108 years.[62]

2017–2018

[edit]

On May 16, 2017, Maddon won his 1,000th game as manager in a 9–5 victory over theCincinnati Reds.[63]Despite falling behind 4.5 games to theMilwaukee Brewersand posting a losing record at the All-Star Break, the Cubs rallied to repeat as NL Central Division Champions and finish with a 92–70 record. Chicago defeated theNationalsthree games to two in theNLDS,marking the Cubs' fourth straight postseason series victory.[64]However, Chicago could not clinch a second straight NL pennant, falling 4–1 in theNLCSto theDodgers.[65]In 2017 theNational Polish-American Sports Hall of Fameawarded its NPASHF Excellence in Sports Award to Joe Maddon.

Maddon's 2018 team saw several key departures from both the player roster and the coaching staff, including 2015Cy YoungWinnerJake Arrieta,right-handed starterJohn Lackey,2017 closerWade Davis,former closerHector Rondon,bench coachDave Martinez,pitching coachChris Bosioand hitting coachJohn Mallee.The Cubs made several free-agency acquisitions to bolster their pitching staff, including former DodgersYu DarvishandBrandon Morrow.

While the Cubs finished with three more wins than their division-winning 2017 record, Chicago's 95 wins were unable to secure a third straight division championship.[66]While the Cubs entered September with a 5-game lead over Milwaukee, the Brewers won four of their final six games against Chicago and completed their season with a seven-game winning streak to force a game 163. Chicago lost boththe tiebreakerand thesubsequent Wild Card gameat home, the latter of which came againstColoradoin 13 innings[67]

2019 season and departure

[edit]

The Cubs opted not to extend Maddon's contract during the 2018 offseason.[68]Epsteintold the press that the club would not enter into talks with Maddon's agent until afterthe upcoming season.[69]The Cubs also dismissed hitting coachChili Davisand pitching coachJim Hickey,both of whom were hired the preceding year.

After the team limped to a 1–6 start through its first seven games,[70]the Cubs overtook theSt. Louis Cardinalsfor first place on May 5 with a three-game home sweep of the division rivals.[71][72]From April 7 through May 29, the Cubs had a 22–7 record at 24–14 overall and 2.0 games above the second-placeMilwaukee Brewers.

Through the remainder of the 2019 season, the Cubs played sub-500 baseball with a 60–64 record, which included a two-month stretch where the team did not win a road series. However, the Cubs remained in contention for both a Wild Card spot and the Central Division heading into the final 10 games of the season, seven of which were against the division-leading Cardinals. St. Louis swept Chicago at Wrigley Field in four games for the first time since 1921, the first of a nine-game losing stretch that would keep the Cubs from a playoff berth for the first time since 2014.[73]

On September 29, before the final game of theseason,Epstein and Maddon announced in a joint press conference that Maddon's initial five-year contract would not be renewed.[74]Maddon's final game as Cubs manager was a 9–0 loss to St. Louis that clinched the division and ended a four-year playoff drought for the Cardinals. The Cubs finished in third place at 84–78, seven games out of first place.[75]

Maddon's departure was originally described by both the Cubs and himself as a "mutual agreement" to part ways, but he later revealed in 2021 that he actually wanted to continue as the Cubs manager with a two-year extension and that his release as Cubs manager was one-sided.[76]

Return to the Los Angeles Angels (2020–2022)

[edit]
Maddon with the Angels in 2020.

On October 16, 2019, it was announced that Maddon would be returning to the Angels as manager for the 2020 season. He signed a three-year deal.[77]

2020 season

[edit]

Due to the ongoingCOVID-19 pandemic,the 2020 season was shortened to 60 games. In addition, the playoffs were expanded to include eight teams from each leagues instead of the regular five.[78]Despite this, the Angels finished the season at 26–34 to finish in fourth place in the AL West, missing the playoffs for the sixth consecutive season.[13]

2021 season

[edit]

Maddon led the Angels in the 2021 season, his first 162-game season as manager for the team. In February 2021, Maddon announced that he would allowShohei Ohtanito both hit and pitch following his 2019 Tommy John surgery recovery and 2020 setback. Maddon and the Angels adopted a 6-man rotation to allow Ohtani to pitch once every 7 days and serve asdesignated hitterin-between.[79]On April 4, 2021, Maddon let Ohtani bat for himself as a starting pitcher for the first time in his career. It was the first time in Angels history that a manager had waived the designated hitter spot and was the first time across the American League since the Tampa Bay Rays did so on May 17, 2009, an instance where Maddon himself accidentally submitted an incorrect lineup card.[80]Just before the2021 All-Star Game,Maddon consulted American League team managerKevin Cashabout having Ohtani both hit and pitch in the game.[81]

The Angels finished the 2021 season with a 77–85 record, placing 4th in their division and missing the playoffs.[82]Maddon made 6 successful managerial challenges out of 20 attempts, a rate of 30%. He was ejected from 3 games. The Angels hitsacrifice buntsat a 2.0% rate, the highest under Maddon's management since the 2014 Rays and similar to thesmall ballthat the 2002 Angels utilized when Maddon was an assistant coach.[13]

2022 season

[edit]

A month before the start of the 2022 season, Maddon told the media that he was considering the possibility of moving veteran superstarMike Troutout ofcenter fieldto acorner outfieldspot in an effort to prevent injuries. In the hypothetical move, Trout would have been moved out of center field for the first time since 2013 in favor ofBrandon Marsh,a former top prospect who spent time at the position during Trout's 2021 injury. Less than 24 hours after floating the idea, Maddon met with Trout and ultimately decided that he would keep him in center field.[83]

On April 15, 2022, in a game where the Angels trailed theTexas Rangers3–2, Maddon ordered thatCorey Seagerbeintentionally walkeddespite the bases being loaded, making the score 4–2. The Rangers then went up 6–2 in the inning after asacrifice flyhit byMitch Garverand a balk by Angels pitcherAustin Warrenthat scoredMarcus Semien.It was the first time a manager called for an intentional walk with the bases loaded since Maddon himself did so onJosh Hamiltonin 2008. It was the first instance of a manager ordering an intentional walk with the bases loaded while trailing in the game sinceJim O'Rourkeof the1881 Buffalo Bisons.The Angels proceeded to win the game by a score of 9–6.[84]

On June 7, 2022, as the team reached a 12-game losing streak, Maddon was fired by the Angels upon a visit to hisPasadenahome by general managerPerry Minasian.[85]
