Guardians Quietly Extended Manager Stephen Vogt Before 2025, Club Confirms

Cleveland declined to release terms after consecutive Manager of the Year honors reinforced keeping him in place.

Overview

  • ESPN first reported that Vogt signed a multi-year extension following the 2024 season, with the deal in place before 2025.
  • The Guardians confirmed the extension to News 5 Cleveland but did not disclose length or financial details.
  • Vogt’s originally announced contract covered 2024–26, so the new agreement eliminates the perception of a lame-duck 2026.
  • He is 180-143 over two seasons with back-to-back AL Central titles and two straight AL Manager of the Year awards, including a division-clinching comeback in 2025 that ranks as MLB’s largest to win a division.
  • Multiple outlets, including MLB.com, Reuters and local media, corroborated the report after ESPN’s initial story.
