"What we do know is that the Nationals do have a need for a new manager, and Toboni did indicate that the search would get underway soon. Whenever the team does begin to interview candidates, one notable name will be off the board. We don't know if the Nationals will look into any sort of college coach like the San Francisco Giants did or any former members of the organization, but we do know that this former big league catcher is now off the market."
"After receiving interest from multiple clubs including the Giants, Suzuki will now be the next manager for the Los Angeles Angels. The decision to hire Suzuki was notable for a few reasons, and it will be interesting to see how much of a leash he gets for being the manager by the front office of the Angels. Owner Arte Moreno has been aggressive in recent years to try to get back to the Postseason,"
The Washington Nationals entered the offseason with limited public activity and a new President of Baseball Operations, Paul Toboni. The team needs a new manager and Toboni indicated a search will begin soon. Kurt Suzuki, a former big league catcher and 2019 World Series champion, has accepted the Los Angeles Angels' managerial position and is no longer available to the Nationals. The Angels signed Suzuki to a one-year deal, prompting speculation about the short term and other candidates considered. Owner Arte Moreno's recent aggressiveness to reach the postseason sets expectations for Suzuki's performance. Albert Pujols was reportedly deep in the Angels' interview process.
