  • Vogt received 17 first-place votes to edge Toronto’s John Schneider, who had 10, with Seattle’s Dan Wilson third in the American League.
  • Milwaukee posted an MLB-best 97-65 record, a franchise high, powered by a 29-4 midseason surge that included a 14-game winning streak.

  • Separately, Toronto exercised Schneider’s 2026 option and said extension discussions are ongoing.
