Kurt Suzuki Returns To Angels On One-Year Deal
3 years agoThe Los Angeles Angels are bringing back catcher Kurt Suzuki on a one-year, $1.75 million deal, according to MLB Insider's Robert Murray. Murray notes that the deal is pending a physical. Suzuki split catching duties with Max Stassi last year. Stassi, who also received a one-year contract from the Angels this offseason, was the superior catcher from an offensive standpoint. He slashed .241/.326/.426 with 13 home runs over 87 games while Suzuki slashed .224/.294/.342 with six home runs over 72 games. Expect to see a bit of a time-share between the two catchers again this year. Stassi should earn a greater chunk of the share, assuming he can pick up where he left off in 2021.
