Angels Tap Veteran Catcher Suzuki as New Manager

In a move to revitalize their struggling franchise, the Los Angeles Angels have decided to hire former major league catcher Kurt Suzuki as their new manager. Suzuki, who has spent the past 3 seasons as a special assistant to Angels general manager Perry Minasian, will be taking over the team's dugout.

The 42-year-old Suzuki, who played 16 seasons in the majors and won a World Series with the Washington Nationals in 2019, will be the Angels' fifth full-time manager in the past 8 seasons.
