The Los Angeles Angels have hired former Twins All-Star catcher Kurt Suzuki as the team's manager, according to the New York Post’s Jon Heyman. Suzuki was previously rumored as a candidate for the Minnesota Twins' and San Francisco Giants' managerial openings, but he will instead remain with the Angels, where he has worked as a special assistant to general manager Perry Minasian since retiring from playing in 2022.
Albert Pujols and Torii Hunter were previously rumored to be candidates to fill the Angels' manager job, but it was announced yesterday that neither would receive the role.
