Suzuki got just a one-year contract when he became the Angels’ sixth manager in the past eight seasons, general manager Perry Minasian said Wednesday. Minasian also has one year left on his deal with the Angels, who are mired in a stretch of 10 straight losing seasons after finishing 72-90 last month.

The Los Angeles Angels are hiring Kurt Suzuki as their next manager, multiple media outlets reported Tuesday.

Suzuki will now take on the challenge of getting the Angels back to contention after a miserable decade.
