List of Major League Baseball managers

Major League Baseball (MLB) is the highest level of play in North American professional baseball and is the organization that operates the National League and the American League. In 2000, the two leagues were officially disbanded as separate legal entities, and all of their rights and functions were consolidated in the commissioner's office.[1] Since that time, MLB has operated as a single league. Composed of 30 teams, MLB is one of the four major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada.[2]

Connie Mack holds the records for most wins (3,731) and losses (3,948) by a Major League Baseball manager.

Each team in the league has a manager who is responsible for team strategy and leadership on and off the field.[3] Assisted by various coaches, the manager sets the line-up and starting pitcher before each game and makes substitutions throughout the game. In early baseball history, it was not uncommon for players to fill multiple roles as player-managers; specifically, they managed the team while still being signed to play for the club.[4] The last player-manager in Major League Baseball was Pete Rose, who began managing the Cincinnati Reds in 1984.[5]

As of the end of the 2023 MLB regular season, the longest-tenured active manager with the same team in Major League Baseball is Kevin Cash, who has led the Tampa Bay Rays of the American League since 2015. The longest-tenured active manager with the same team in the National League is Craig Counsell, who led the Milwaukee Brewers since 2015 until he signed with the Chicago Cubs following the 2023 postseason. The New York Mets, San Francisco Giants, Chicago Cubs, Cleveland Guardians and the Los Angeles Angels will begin the 2024 season with new managers.

Connie Mack holds the Major League Baseball record for most games won as a manager, with 3,731, and most managed with 7,755. The all-time leaders in championships won in the World Series era (1903–present) are Joe McCarthy and Casey Stengel, who each won seven championships with the New York Yankees.[5]

The Atlanta Braves National League franchise originated in Boston, Massachusetts in 1871. The team has employed 45 managers, who have led the team in three different cities: Boston (1871–1952), Milwaukee, Wisconsin (1953–1965), and Atlanta (1966–present).[6] The first manager was Harry Wright. The longest-tenured manager is Bobby Cox, who retired at the end of the 2010 season.[7] Cox served as skipper of the Braves for 21 consecutive seasons (1990–2010),[8] and holds the major league record for managerial ejections,[9] with 151.[10] Cox' win–loss record was 2,058–1,638 with the Braves (he previously managed the Toronto Blue Jays).[11] He won four Manager of the Year Awards (1985, 1991, 2004–2005)[12] and led the Braves to 14 consecutive division titles (3 in the National League West and 11 in the East; 1991–2005 excluding the 1994 strike-shortened season), winning one World Series in 1995.[6] Fredi González succeeded Cox as manager. Gonzalez was fired on May 17, 2016.[13] On May 17, 2016, the Atlanta Braves named Brian Snitker as their interim manager and the 47th manager in club history.

Mattingly with the Marlins

The Marlins franchise entered the National League in 1993 as an expansion team and was known as the Florida Marlins until 2011. The franchise's first manager was Rene Lachemann, who accumulated 285 losses during his four-season tenure. Jim Leyland and Jack McKeon each guided the team to World Series victories, in 1997 and 2003, respectively;[15] however, the team has never won a division title. Marlins managers have never lost a playoff series, and Miami is the only franchise in Major League Baseball to accomplish the feat.[16] McKeon is the franchise leader in wins (281).[15] Joe Girardi won the Manager of the Year Award in his only season managing the Marlins (2006). He is the only manager to win the award while fielding a team with a losing record, and he's the only manager to win with a team that finished in fourth place in its division.[12] Jack McKeon was named the team's interim manager in 2011, having been named to the position following the mid-season resignation of Edwin Rodríguez.[17][18] At the conclusion of the 2011 season, the Marlins hired Ozzie Guillén to be their manager for the 2012 season; however, he was fired following his first season.[19] The Marlins then named Mike Redmond as their manager. Redmond was subsequently fired on May 17, 2015, and replaced by Dan Jennings on an interim basis.[20] After the 2015 season, Don Mattingly signed a four-year contract to become the club's 15th manager.[21] On September 25, 2022, Mattingly stated that he and the Marlins mutually agreed that he would finish the season as manager, and not return to the role in 2023. On October 25, 2022, Skip Schumaker was hired as team's manager. Schumaker resigned after the 2024 season.[22][23]

The successor to two previous National League franchises in New York City (the Giants and the Dodgers), the New York Mets have existed since 1962 and have played in Queens since 1964, when they vacated the Polo Grounds in Manhattan and moved to Shea Stadium.[24][25] Casey Stengel was the first of twenty managers.[26] Gil Hodges led the team to their first championship in the 1969 World Series. Davey Johnson is the franchise leader in regular-season wins, with 595 during his seven-season tenure, and he led the Mets to their most recent title in the memorable 1986 World Series. Bobby Valentine managed the team during their next deep playoff run to the 2000 World Series. Terry Collins holds the record for most games managed at 1134, and his Mets record was 551–583. Combined with his managerial tenures with the Houston Astros and Anaheim Angels, his record was 995–1017.[27] The Mets made the playoffs in Collins' fifth season as manager, and played in the 2015 World Series. Terry Collins retired after the 2017 season and was replaced by former Indians Pitching Coach Mickey Callaway who became the club's 21st manager.[26] After two lackluster seasons Callaway was fired on October 3, 2019.[28] On November 1, 2019, the Mets hired their former All-Star center fielder Carlos Beltrán to be their 22nd manager.[29] After Beltran was implicated in the Houston Astros sign stealing scandal,[30] he and the Mets agreed to a mutual parting of ways.[31] On January 22, 2020, the Mets hired quality control coach Luis Rojas as the team's next manager. After 2021 season, the Mets announced that they would not pick up the 2022 option for Rojas.[32] On December 20, 2021, Buck Showalter was announced as the club's 24th manager. Showalter announced that he won't return to the Mets for 2024 season. Carlos Mendoza was named as manager on November 13, 2023.

Charlie Manuel was the manager from 2005 to 2013 until he was fired on August 16, 2013. Manuel was the first Phillies manager since Dallas Green in 1980 to win a World Series (2008)[34] and the first to lead his team to at least three consecutive playoff appearances since Danny Ozark (1976–1978).[35] Manuel's career managerial record is 867–678, having previously managed the Cleveland Indians; his record with the Phillies was 780–636 surpassing Gene Mauch's previous regular season record of 645 wins (1960–68).[36] The Phillies won five consecutive division championships (2007–2011) and back-to-back National League pennants (2008–2009) during Manuel's tenure.[35] Manuel has the most postseason wins (27) in team history, while Ozark has the most playoff losses (9).

After two unsuccessful seasons with the club, Kapler was fired. On October 24, 2019, the Philadelphia Phillies hired Joe Girardi as their 55th manager, replacing Kapler.[38] Girardi was fired after a disappointing start to the 2022 season and was replaced by bench coach Rob Thomson.[39]

Wrigley utilized a "College of Coaches", using a rotating system of multiple managers rather than a single field leader.[44] Lou Piniella managed the Cubs from 2007 to 2010 and led the team to consecutive postseason appearances in 2007 and 2008,[45] becoming the first manager to lead the team to multiple postseasons since Charlie Grimm's four appearances from 1932 to 1935.

Buck Rodgers and Harvey Kuenn led the team to one American League playoff appearance each,[51] and Dale Sveum led the team to the 2008 National League wild card after replacing the fired Ned Yost with 12 games remaining in the season.[54] Kuenn is the only manager inducted into the Milwaukee Brewers Walk of Fame.[55] Ron Roenicke was hired on November November 2, 2010.[56] Ron Roenicke was fired on May 3, 2015.
