Joe Maddon stayed with the Angels and served as a minor league manager, scout, roving hitting teacher, and coach. Maddon coached the California/Anaheim/Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim from 1993 to 2005. He served as the team’s interim manager in 1996 and 1999. Maddon won the World Series in 2002 while serving as the Angels’ bench coach. Maddon worked under managers Buck Rodgers, Marcel Lachemann, John McNAmara, Terry Collins, and Mike Scioscia.

Maddon took over as manager of the Tampa Bay Rays in November 2005. The team was rebuilding and had the lowest payroll in baseball at the time. But in 2008, the Rays won the American League pennant, and Maddon received his first Manager of the Year honor.

He won American League Manager of the Year again in 2011 after the Rays won the American League Wild Card and advanced to the American League Division Series. Despite the team’s strenuous efforts to re-sign Maddon, he chose to opt out of his contract at the end of 2014.

Joe Maddon was hired as the Chicago Cubs’ manager in 2015, and he helped lead the team to the National League Championship Series. He received his third Manager of the Year award, this time for the National League in 2015.

In 2016, he witnessed the Chicago Cubs end their 108-year World Series drought with a 4-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians. However, after a swift departure from the 2018 playoffs, the Cubs elected not to extend Maddon’s five-year contract, allowing it to expire after failing to make the playoffs the following season.

Joe Maddon returned to the Angels in 2020 as manager, signing a three-year contract. Following a COVID-19-shortened 60-game season, Maddon decided to let star Shohei Ohtani hit and pitch following his 2019 Tommy John surgery recovery and 2020 setback. Maddon’s six-man rotation allowed Ohtani to pitch once every seven days while serving as designated hitter in between. Joe Maddon was fired by the Angels in June 2022, during a 12-game losing streak.
