Former Los Angeles Angels General Manager Jerry Dipoto is not just saying goodbye to his position - he is also ready to leave his Newport Beach home behind.

Dipoto, who served as the team's GM for three and a half years, is selling his California property for $3 million, Los Angeles Times reported.

Even before the 47-year-old baseball executive resigned on Wednesday, the property has been on the market for nearly a month now, added the Times. The former Cleveland Indians baseball player, who also managed front office roles in the Boston Red Sox, the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colordao Rockies, purchased the Newport Beach home for only $1,875,000 three years ago, according to property records cited by the outlet.

The nearly 4,300-square-foot home located in a secured neighborhood features four bedrooms, including a master bedroom spacious enough to showcase a sitting room. The master bedroom also comes with its own fireplace to provide comfort for those chilly nights. Other living spaces that occupy the two-story home are a formal dining room, a kitchen with a dining nook and five and one-fourth bathrooms.

Notable interior details of the California home are coffered ceilings that add character and style and hardwood flooring that gives a natural but elegant appeal.

The next owners may enjoy great bonding time with close friends in the family room equipped with three wine coolers and the media room. Outdoors, they may chat in the patio while waiting for their simple grilled meal to be cooked in the nearby barbecue station.

Being in Newport Beach, the home's best feature is its location. The area is described by Visit Newport Beach as "an intimate seaside oasis that will tempt you with its elegance, modern shopping and stunning residential landscape." According to the city government, Newport Beach attracts thousands of tourists a day since "the bay area and the City's eight miles of ocean beach offer outstanding fishing, swimming, surfing, and aquatic sports activities," aside from other outstanding qualities.

Interested parties may contact Tim Smith of Coldwell Banker Previews International who handles the listing, added the Times.

Dipoto's reason for leaving the Angels

Citing sources, FoxSports reported that the growing tension among Dipoto, Coach Mike Scioscia, the coaching team and players, which escalated over the weekend when the team was discussing "scouting reports and statistical information provided by the front office," may have led to Dipoto's decision to resign.

Yet, Dipoto tried his best not to confirm and give details about the specific reasons why he's leaving the team.

"I'm not going to go into any detail about what happened over the weekend. This isn't about a singular event. This is about what's right for me and right for my family, and frankly, what's right for the Angels," the former GM, who joined the Angels in 2011, told the reporters on Wednesday night, as quoted by The Orange County Register.
