Only two MLB managers were fired after last season, reflecting remarkable stability in the dugout across the league following eight changes the previous offseason. It seems most teams are satisfied with the direction they’re heading; 16 managers are in the two safest tiers of our hot seat spectrum, compared to eight when I last performed this exercise four years ago.
That means we could be in for a year of upheaval, though. Back in 2021, when just three teams had changed skippers heading into the season, nine clubs ended up with new managers by the end of the year.
