The Cleveland Guardians have already been exceptionally busy this offseason. It may not look like it when peaking at the 40-man roster, but the front office was tasked with filling two major voids on the coaching staff during the first month of the offseason. 

Shortly after the end of Cleveland’s regular season, Vogt said that he was planning on everyone from the coaching staff to return for next year, but as we know, two members of the staff departed for different opportunities, and promotions around baseball: Kai Correa was hired to be the bench coach of the New York Mets new bench coach and Craig Albernaz was named the new manager of the Baltimore Orioles. 

The question on everyone’s mind is, “Will the Guardians have any more coaches leave for other positions around MLB?”

Unfortunately, it’s much more complicated than a simple “yes” or “no” answer.

As of right now, Stephen Vogt and the Guardians aren’t expecting any more changes to their coaching staff before the start of the 2026 season. That said, they didn’t expect any changes coming into the offseason either. 

“Well, I mean, I think where we sit today, yeah, just like as we spoke in the [regular] season, our coaching staff was set to all come back. You know, things change,” said Vogt on Friday. “So as of right now, this is the staff that we intend to bring to Goodyear and help us march towards the World Series Championship in 2026, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the group that we have.”

It may not be the response that everyone is looking for, but it’s a fair one. This offseason has already seen more managerial turnover than the last few off-seasons combined, and with that, there are numerous new opportunities. 

Even though it can be in some ways frustrating to see so many coaches leave the Guardians, it also can be seen as a badge of honor as well. As Vogt said, “There's 10 new managers out there. Everybody’s getting new staff, and our coaches are highly regarded, which I think is a great sign for our organization that people hold our coaches in that light.”

Time will tell if the Guardians need to make any more coaching hires, but Vogt still feels more than confident in his current staff as they prepare for spring training.
