Kurt Suzuki Fired by Angels After Franchise's First 100-Loss Season

The Los Angeles Angels declined manager Kurt Suzuki's contract option after he led the franchise to its first 100-loss season with a 62-100 record. Appointed on a one-year deal, Suzuki's tenure concluded amid significant organizational turnover, including the June firing of general manager Perry Minasian and a $4 billion sale of the team to Stan Kroenke. Despite his dismissal as manager, Suzuki has been offered a return to his previous role as a special assistant.
