Kurt Suzuki Hired as Los Angeles Angels Manager Amid Playoff Drought

Sources reveal the Angels hired Suzuki as manager, turning to the 16-year catcher and 2019 World Series winner despite no coaching experience. He’d spent three years as a special assistant. Albert Pujols and Torii Hunter were considered. Suzuki is Anaheim's fifth manager since Mike Scioscia. He inherits a 72-90 club with pop but thin pitching and MLB’s longest playoff drought.
