Los Angeles Angels catcher Kurt Suzuki set to retire at season's end after 16-year MLB career

Los Angeles Angels catcher Kurt Suzuki said Tuesday he plans to retire at season's end following a 16-year career.

"I feel like it's time," Suzuki said, according to the Orange County Register. "I've had a great run, won a World Series, All-Star Game. Played 16 seasons. I've accomplished a lot of things I never would have dreamed of. I felt like it's time for the next chapter. My three kids, all they've known is baseball."

Suzuki, in his second season with the Angels, is batting .179 with four home runs and 14 RBIs in 48 games this season.
