Overview
- Multiple outlets linked Vogt to the Mariners’ open job on Oct. 22, but the reports described the move as possible rather than confirmed.
- At the Guardians’ end-of-season availability on Oct. 22, Vogt said “I’m coming back” and Cleveland reiterated he is under contract through at least 2027.
- Guardians president Chris Antonetti told reporters the Mariners have not contacted Cleveland and said he expects Vogt to remain long term.
- MLB insiders Anthony Castrovince and Jon Morosi said a Vogt-to-Seattle hire cannot be ruled out because of his Washington ties, but they noted it would be complicated.
- Vogt’s family living in Washington and his recent success with the Guardians increase his appeal to Seattle, yet managerial moves while a manager is under contract are rare and would require negotiation or compensation between clubs.
