With the Hot Stove in full swing, the first order of business was for teams with open, vacant manager jobs to fill them. The nine teams that had openings have filled them, and that now transitions the teams to round out their rosters for the 2026 season.

Here are the new nine managers:

Rangers: Skip Schumaker

Angels: Kurt Suzuki

Giants: Tony Vitello

Orioles: Craig Albernaz

Twins: Derek Shelton

Nationals: Blake Butera

Braves: Walt Weiss

Padres: Craig Stammen

Rockies: Warren Schaeffer

Until then, see you at the park.
