Guardians hire Mariners bullpen coach Stephen Vogt as their new manager to replace Terry Francona

FILE - This is a 2023 photo showing Stephen Vogt of the Seattle Mariners baseball team. The Cleveland Guardians have hired Stephen Vogt, a journeyman catcher with no managerial experience, as their new manager to replace Terry Francona, the team announced Monday, Nov. 6, 2023. Vogt was Seattle’s bullpen coach last season.

One of the things that stood out about Vogt to Cleveland’s front office was his deep baseball background. He’s lived the game’s highs and lows — making his big-league debut at 27, overcoming a major injury, getting cut and traded, waiting almost 15 months to get his first hit. A father of three, Vogt loves talking baseball and he has often credited many of his former managers, from Bruce Bochy and Craig Counsell to Bob Melvin, Brian Snitker and Mark Kotsay, with being role models and mentors.
