Bob Melvin of the San Francisco Giants is in a precarious managerial position, with his future hinging on whether the team can secure a wild card spot this season, despite having a contract through 2026.

Tony Mansolino, who took over as interim manager for the Baltimore Orioles, has improved team performance, but his future remains uncertain and depends on organizational decisions.

As the 2025 MLB season concludes, attention turns to potential managerial changes for 2026, with several managers at risk of losing their jobs due to team performance and organizational shifts.

Oliver Marmol of the St. Louis Cardinals is under contract through 2026, and with the new president of baseball operations expected to retain him, he remains in position despite missing the playoffs for three straight years and facing a second consecutive losing season.

Rocco Baldelli of the Minnesota Twins is likely to be dismissed after the team’s first 90-loss season since 2016 and missing the postseason for the second year in a row, though he may find opportunities elsewhere.

Carlos Mendoza of the New York Mets, who led the team to the NLCS in his first season, faces potential dismissal if the Mets miss the playoffs, as organizational disappointment could threaten his job.

Mark Kotsay of the Oakland Athletics is probably secure due to his contract through 2028 and recent team performance above-.500 since the All-Star break, despite an overall below-.500 record during his tenure.

Aaron Boone of the New York Yankees is considered safe for now with a strong chance of making the playoffs, but could be under threat if the team underperforms early in the postseason.

Brian Snitker of the Atlanta Braves is unlikely to return in 2026 amid a disappointing season, with speculation he may step down or be replaced despite previous success including a World Series title.

Warren Schaeffer of the Colorado Rockies is likely to retain his position due to organizational loyalty and recent team improvement, though his status remains officially undecided.

Miguel Cairo, serving as interim manager for the Washington Nationals, faces uncertainty as upcoming front office changes make his return in 2026 unlikely.
