So much for the idea that Cleveland Guardians manager Stephen Vogt was possibly headed into a lame duck season, with ESPN reporting Friday that the two-time American League Manager of the Year already signed an extension that never was announced.<\/p>\n
The report indicates that Vogt\u2019s extension went into effect before the 2025 season, after he won his first AL Manager of the Year Award. The Guardians went 92-69 in 2024. Cleveland then advanced to the American League Championship Series after votes from writers had been cast.<\/p>\n
Vogt, 41, again was named the top AL manager after the Guardians went 88-74 this past season before they were eliminated in the AL wild-card round.<\/p>\n
When Vogt was named Guardians manager in November of 2023, his contract had been announced at three years.<\/p>\n
Vogt spent 10 seasons as a major league player, batting .239 with 82 home runs and 313 RBIs in 794 career games. He played for six different clubs, including the Oakland Athletics from 2013-2107 and again in 2022.<\/p>\n
The two-time All-Star was named Guardians manager barely a year after he retired as a player. He served as the Seattle Mariners\u2019 bullpen and quality control coach in the year between playing and becoming a manager.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"So much for the idea that Cleveland Guardians manager Stephen Vogt was possibly headed into a lame duck…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":345317,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[363,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-345316","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-mlb","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=345316"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345316\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/345317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=345316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=345316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=345316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
