Quick Summary

The Los Angeles Angels have fired manager Kurt Suzuki after just one season during which the team achieved a record 62 wins and 100 losses, marking the worst performance in the franchise’s 66-year history. The team is considering Albert Pujols as a potential replacement for the managerial role while also offering Suzuki a position as a special assistant within the organization. This decision comes amid broader changes, including the sale of the team to Stan Kroenke from longtime owner Arte Moreno.
