Joe Maddon is scheduled to interview with the Angels for their managerial opening this week, said a person on Sunday who is familiar with the situation but not authorized to speak publicly about it. He was Mike Scioscia’s bench coach when the team won the 2002 World Series. He left in 2006 to manage the Tampa Bay Rays, and he led them to the World Series in 2008. He was introduced one day before the Dodgers and Boston Red Sox met in the World Series. The Cubs, who had finished fifth in the National League Central five consecutive years before Maddon’s arrival, won the World Series in 2016.
