Angel minor league director Jeff Parker resigned Monday.

Parker said he was in negotiations to become the general manager of a minor league team.

Parker, 29, joined the Angels as a batboy and clubhouse attendant in 1986. Bavasi, then the minor league director, hired Parker as an administrative assistant in 1990.
