MLB manager tracker: Padres hire former reliever Craig Stammen, only Rockies job remains open

It's a busy offseason on the MLB managerial carousel but it's almost nine. At least nine teams will be changing full-time skippers heading into 2026 and only one team is still looking for managers: the Colorado Rockies.

In one of the more shocking hiring moves, former reliever Craig Stammen is going back into the dugout as the Padres' new manager. He was serving as a special assistant to A.J. Preller after retiring in 2023.

The Atlanta Braves stayed in-house, promoting bench coach Walt Weiss to the top job. He served as bench coach for eight seasons after spending four seasons as the Rockies manager. 

The Washington Nationals made history by hiring 33-year-old Blake Butera, the youngest skipper in the majors since 1972. He replaces Davey Martinez, who was fired over the summer.

The Minnesota Twins have gone back to the well and brought back their old bench coach Derek Shelton to replace Rocco Baldelli. Shelton spent the past six seasons at the helm in Pittsburgh. The Nats, meanwhile, have hired MLB's youngest manager in more than five decades. Blake Butera, 33, will take over in D.C. and become the youngest MLB manager since 1972.

The Baltimore Orioles, coming off 75-87 season that saw them finish in the basement of the AL East, have hired Guardians associate manager Craig Albernaz. Brandon Hyde was fired in May and interim manager Tony Mansolino was not handed the full-time reins.

The Los Angeles Angels, who let go of both Ron Washington and interim Ray Montgomery, have hired former player Kurt Suzuki as their new skipper. Suzuki spent parts of 16 years in the majors, including his last two with the Angels, and won a World Series ring with the Washington Nationals in 2019.

The San Francisco Giants, meanwhile, went out of the box and hired Tennessee coach Tony Vitello to take over for Bob Melvin, who was fired after their season ended. Vitello, who went 341-131 in eight years as head coach at Tennessee, is the first collegiate coach to jump straight to an MLB manager job. He also never played professional baseball.

The Texas Rangers became Major League Baseball's first team to complete a managerial change earlier in the month, officially announcing that Skip Schumaker will take over in the dugout. Texas had previously announced a parting of ways with Bruce Bochy, the future Hall of Fame skipper who guided the franchise to its first (and to date only) World Series title in 2023.

While there is going to be an unusually large amount of turnover, you shouldn't fret. Below, CBS Sports will monitor all the latest happenings on the managerial front, all the way until the last one is filled.

Let's get to it.
