Kurt Suzuki to be the Angels' Next Manager
Albert Pujols and Torii Hunter were also in consideration to replace Ron Washington, who missed almost half of the 2025 season after undergoing quadruple bypass surgery. Suzuki, 42, played with five different teams in 16 big-league seasons -- he won the World Series in 2019 with the Washington Nationals -- but he has no professional coaching experience. Before being named the Angels' manager, Suzuki spent the last three years as a special assistant to general manager Perry Minasian. He will look to turn around a franchise that currently has the longest playoff drought in the league. The Angels have made it to the playoffs just once since the 2009 season and were swept in 2014 by the Kansas City Royals.
