Angels Decline Kurt Suzuki's 2027 Option After 100-Loss Season

Los Angeles ended Kurt Suzuki’s one-year run as manager by declining his 2027 option after a 62-100 season, the franchise’s first 100-loss campaign.
John Mozeliak said the move was made with incoming owner Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, which agreed on Sept. 1 to buy control of the club from Arte Moreno.
Suzuki, a first-time manager hired a year ago, was offered a special-assistant role instead of a return to the dugout.
The decision extends a broad shake-up that already included Perry Minasian’s firing in June and pitching coach Mike Maddux’s dismissal in August.
The Angels will now hire their seventh manager in nine seasons while carrying MLB’s longest active skids—11 straight losing years and 12 seasons without a playoff berth.
