Quick Summary

The article identifies baseball managers whose positions are at risk or uncertain for the upcoming season. Kurt Suzuki of the Angels is highlighted as being in the most precarious position due to his one-year contract under new management and the team's poor performance, making it likely he will not return next year. Andy Green, who has been managing the Mets on an interim basis, also faces uncertainty despite a commendable record; baseball president David Stearns indicated from the start that Green would revert to a front-office role after this season, which means the Mets are expected to search for a permanent replacement.

Story summary

More than a quarter of MLB teams changed managers last winter, and while fewer changes are expected this time, some managers still face uncertainty about their futures. Andy Green, the interim manager for the Mets with a record of 35-36 before Thursday night, is doing well but might not return due to baseball president David Stearns' initial plan to have him back in the front office after the season ends. Additionally, Kurt Suzuki, who unexpectedly received only a one-year deal as manager for the Angels from the previous regime and now faces a new GM and team president, is also on an uncertain path given his team's poor performance; they could lose 100 games for the first time ever if their record drops to 4-6.
