"When the Guardians originally hired Stephen Vogt as their new manager following the 2023 season, it was announced that he'd signed a three-year contract covering the 2024-26 seasons. Vogt, however, isn't coming up on the final year of his contract as it might have seemed. ESPN's Jeff Passan reports that the Guardians quietly signed Vogt to a multi-year extension following the 2024 campaign. The new contract was never announced, nor was it reported at the time."
"Vogt, 41, has been named American League Manager of the Year in each of his two seasons as Cleveland's skipper. Under his watch, the Guardians have twice enjoyed late-season rallies to force their way into the postseason. The '24 Guardians won 88 games and topped the Tigers in the ALDS before falling to the Yankees in the ALCS. In 2025, Cleveland won 92 games but lost to the Tigers in a 2-1 Wild Card series defeat. Overall, Vogt is 180-143 as a big league manager."
Stephen Vogt signed a multi-year extension with the Guardians following the 2024 season that was not publicly announced. The extension likely keeps him under contract through at least 2028. Vogt has won American League Manager of the Year in both of his two seasons as Cleveland manager and has a 180-143 regular-season managerial record. The Guardians reached the postseason in consecutive years, winning 88 games and an ALDS in 2024 and winning 92 games in 2025. The roster is led by José Ramirez and awaits contributions from prospects Chase DeLauter, Travis Bazzana, Angel Genao, Cooper Ingle and pitcher Khal Stephen. Payroll constraints remain a consideration.
