The first managerial changes of the 2025-26 MLB offseason came on the first day after the season, when the San Francisco Giants dismissed Bob Melvin, the Minnesota Twins fired Rocco Baldelli and the Texas Rangers announced that Bruce Bochy would not return.

Then came the news that manager Ron Washington and interim manager Ray Montgomery both would not return to the Los Angeles Angels , and Brian Snitker informed the Atlanta Braves he wouldn't return as manager.

In perhaps the most surprising managing development of the offseason, Mike Shildt retired as San Diego Padres manager after guiding the team to consecutive postseason appearances.

ESPN tracked all of the managerial hirings and firings.
