The Colorado Rockies announced that Warren Schaeffer, who served as interim manager in 2025, will return as the team's full-time manager starting in 2026. Schaeffer took over after Bud Black's dismissal in May, guiding a young roster through a challenging season that ended with a franchise-record 119 losses. The move provides continuity amid front-office changes, including the hiring of Paul DePodesta as president of baseball operations.
The San Diego Padres introduced Craig Stammen as their 20th manager on Monday at Petco Park. Stammen, a former reliever for the team, becomes the first skipper in franchise history to spend the bulk of his playing career in the bullpen. He expressed excitement about leading the organization toward a World Series title.
