Multiple MLB Teams Seek New Managers for 2026 Season

The 2025 MLB offseason is marked by significant managerial changes with at least five teams, including the Angels, Braves, Giants, Rangers, and Twins, seeking new managers for 2026. The Texas Rangers have already hired Skip Schumaker to replace Bruce Bochy, who parted ways with the team after the season ended. The San Francisco Giants are actively searching for a manager to succeed Bob Melvin, with potential candidates ranging from former Giants players and coaches to notable figures like Andrew Bailey and Yadier Molina. The Baltimore Orioles are also in the managerial market, considering both internal candidates like interim manager Tony Mansolino and external options such as Jeff Banister, a former AL Manager of the Year. Other teams like the Rockies, Nationals, and Orioles that finished with interim managers may also appoint new leaders. This wave of changes reflects a broader trend of teams seeking fresh leadership and strategic direction following the conclusion of the 2025 regular season and postseason.
