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.
Josh Naylor has re-signed with the Seattle Mariners for five more years, with the team's clubhouse dog playing a key role in his decision. The first baseman cited the pooch as a significant factor in choosing to stay in Seattle. This extension highlights unique personal elements in free agency negotiations.
