Nine teams had managerial vacancies this offseason. All nine of those jobs are now filled.

The Rockies became the last of the nine clubs to hire a new manager on Monday, making Warren Schaeffer their full-time skipper after he served as Colorado's interim manager for part of 2025.

Six of the nine new hires are first-time managers in MLB, including Schaeffer. That group of first-timers also includes the youngest skipper since the 1970s, as well as the first college coach to move directly to managing in the big leagues without previous professional coaching experience.

Here's a breakdown of the nine new managers, along with the biggest challenge each of them will be facing in 2026 and beyond. (Managers are listed in the order that they were hired.)
