Tony Reagins is the General Manager of The Angels and became only the 4th African American GM of a major league team in October of 2007.  Reagins graduated from Cal State Fullerton in 1991 and became an intern in The Angels marketing department.  In 1998, Reagins was hired full time as manager of baseball operations.  It did not take Tony long before he was moved to director of player development in 2002.  It was in this capacity that Reagins oversaw the Halo farm system.  Under his watch, Angel affiliates achieved 18 playoff appearances, 15 division titles, and three league titles.  While under the watchful eyes of Reagins, the farm system produced players like Mike Napoli, Jeff Mathis, Jered Weaver, Joe Saunders, Howie Kendrick, Kendry Morales, Erick Aybar, and Reggie Willits to name a few.  In 2007, Minor League News awarded the Angels “2007 Farm System of the Year.”  After being promoted to General Manager, Reagins immediately traded Gold Glover Orlando Cabrera to the White Sox for pitcher Jon Garland and then only days later signed fellow Gold Glover free agent Torii Hunter to a five year contract.
