Angels catcher Kurt Suzuki set to retire, ending 16-year career

ARLINGTON, Texas — Kurt Suzuki’s kids let him know that the time had come to retire.

“They used to be excited to watch me on TV,” the Angels catcher said on Tuesday. “Now they want me at home. That’s kind of when you know. I’ve said from the beginning, family is always first. That comes first no matter what. The game will tell you, but also your family will tell you.”

Suzuki, 38, revealed what many had suspected when he said that he is planning to call it a career at the end of this season.
