Overview

  • Murphy earned 27 of 30 first-place votes after steering the Brewers to a franchise-record 97 wins and the National League’s top seed.
  • Vogt received 17 of 30 first-place votes as the Guardians won the AL Central by erasing a 15.5-game July deficit, the largest in-season comeback in MLB history.
  • The consecutive awards place both managers in rare company with Bobby Cox and Kevin Cash as back-to-back winners.
  • NL ballots also awarded first-place votes to the Reds’ Terry Francona (two) and the Phillies’ Rob Thomson (one), while AL voting included 10 for the Blue Jays’ John Schneider and two for the Mariners’ Dan Wilson.
  • Separately, Toronto picked up Schneider’s 2026 contract option, with extension talks continuing following the Blue Jays’ World Series run.
