Angels fire manager Kurt Suzuki after 100-loss season

The Los Angeles Angels have fired manager Kurt Suzuki after a poor season in Major League Baseball.

The Angels announced Wednesday that Suzuki would step down as manager and that the club would begin searching for a new manager and coaching staff.

Suzuki, a Japanese American born in Hawaii, took over as Angels manager last October but guided the team to a 62-100 record this season, the worst mark since the franchise was founded in 1961.

The Angels finished last in the American League West for the third consecutive season and reached 100 losses for the first time, surpassing their previous franchise worst of 63-99 in 2024.

The club ultimately dismissed Suzuki after just one year in charge.

The Angels had already fired pitching coach Mike Maddux, bullpen coach Dom Chiti and assistant coach Darryl Scott in August.

Suzuki is expected to return to his previous role as a special assistant to the general manager.
