Angels Notes: Mozeliak, Suzuki, Trout

Following a 100-loss season, the Los Angeles Angels face major offseason leadership decisions while transitioning ownership from Arte Moreno to Stan Kroenke. Interim general manager John Mozeliak scheduled a meeting on Monday with Kroenke Sports & Entertainment executive Kevin Demoff to determine his future with the franchise. Mozeliak stated he hopes manager Kurt Suzuki returns for the 2027 season, though the final managerial decision rests with incoming leadership.

Meanwhile, veteran outfielder Mike Trout is set to return for his 17th MLB season after playing 142 games in 2026. Mozeliak confirmed that the 35-year-old Trout approached him about shifting positions, expressing an interest to transition away from full-time center field duties to spend more time in left field and as a designated hitter in 2027.
