If Arte is going to sell, he would likely do it after the upcoming lockout because owners assume franchise values will increase with a potential salary cap.

Also, what kind of coaching staff is Suzuki going to be able to build with only one-year contracts?? Hard to imagine many coaches wanting to relocate their families under a one-year deal #Angels #ReptheHalo

Sam Blum made a good point. There will likely be a lockout after next season and Arte doesn’t want to be on the hook paying a manager during a lockout.

Kurt Suzuki being on a one-year deal is shocking. You never see one-year deals with managers. It’s unknown if Albert Pujols or Torii Hunter were also offered one-year deals but it would make sense if that were a turn off for them #Angels #ReptheHalo

I don’t think the managers have been the cause of the pain. Sure, it’s a factor. But Maddon, Nevin, Wash weren’t set up to succeed. Suzuki will be as good as Arte and Perry allow him to be

He will be as good as Arte and Perry allow him to be. He will be popular with the players and likely put together a young staff. I don’t think it will be worse than it has been

Not reporting this, but it’s going to be Kurt Suzuki. 90% sure

Correct. Would bet on Kurt Suzuki being their next manager

Not reporting anything, but I believe Kurt Suzuki will be the Angels manager. #Angels

Arte Moreno didn’t want to pay him more than he was already making on a special services contract. Even though being the manager is obviously way more time consuming and stressful.

That was the wildest play I’ve ever seen in a playoff game. Wow! #NLDS #DodgersΒ  #Brewers

My opinion: Ron Washington made some questionable managerial moves and was inconsistent with his messaging about the team, but he really got a raw deal and didn’t get a fair chance.

Wash was always very kind to me and I’m glad I got to shake his hand one more time last week #Angels #ReptheHalo

For a normal team it probably is too much. But it was the fewest they’ve had in over two weeks. Double digit strikeouts in nearly every game the last week

Final: Angels 3, Royals 2

Kikuchi pitches 5 great innings. Taylor Ward hits home run No. 36. Angels only strikeout six times, their fewest since Sep. 10. Save No. 28 for Kenley Jansen.

Angels are now 7-15 in September and 2-10 in their last 12 #Angels #ReptheHalo

Yusei Kikuchi was removed from the game tonight due to a left forearm cramp per the Angels #Angels #ReptheHalo

Yusei Kikuchi felt something while warming up for the 6th and is leaving the game. He finishes the season with a 3.99 ERA in 178.1 innings pitched. That's a career-high in innings for Kikuchi. #Angels #ReptheHalo

Former Angel Randal Grichuk breaks up Kikuchi's no-hit bid with a home run just over the glove of Bryce Teodosio.

Taylor Ward hits a solo home run in the 3rd. His 36th of the season and his second in two days.

Kyle Hendricks said he has not yet made a decision about retiring after the season. Says the report about him retiring was news to him. He will evaluate things after the season is over #Angels #ReptheHaloΒ  #MLB

The Angels traded Kyle Bradish to the Orioles for Dylan Bundy…people liked the trade at the time, but Bradish has real ace stuff when healthy. #Angels #Orioles
