Angels decline Kurt Suzuki's contract option, will hire new manager for 2027 season

The Los Angeles Angels have opted not to renew Kurt Suzuki's contract for the 2027 season. This move follows a historic low for the franchise, as the team finished the 2026 campaign with a 62-100 record, their first season with 100 losses.

Suzuki, a former catcher who played 16 years in the league and finished his playing career with the team in 2022, spent two years as a special assistant to the general manager before taking the helm. During his single year as manager, the club struggled significantly, posting the second-worst record in all of Major League Baseball and the worst in the American League.
