MLB Faces Eight Managerial Openings for 2026

News summary

Major League Baseball has eight full-time managerial openings for the 2026 season after a string of midseason firings and mutual departures, including Brian Snitker in Atlanta and Bruce Bochy in Texas. Media outlets and club reports rank the Atlanta vacancy as the most desirable — a stable, turnkey operation with a deep roster and experienced front office — while other openings (Giants, Orioles, Rangers, Angels, Twins, Rockies, Nationals) vary widely in payroll, ownership philosophy and job security. Several clubs installed interim skippers this year (Colorado, Baltimore, Washington, Pittsburgh) who could be candidates for permanent roles depending on each club’s willingness to invest in development and payroll. The Braves’ search already includes internal and external names such as bench coach Weiss, former manager David Ross and Ron Washington, reflecting a choice between continuity and a fresh start. Off the field, the Colorado Rockies are conducting a front-office search after GM Bill Schmidt resigned and say they will look externally, and outlets are compiling candidate lists and rankings ahead of a busy offseason shaped by club finances and ownership priorities.
