Good morning. There were three managers hired on Monday, although it seems like we have one of those hires covered pretty well around here.
- The Mets, who were considered an early favorite for Craig Counsell, hired Yankees bench coach Carlos Mendoza as their new manager.
- Will Sammon and Tim Britton write that the Mets went in a different direction by hiring a first-time manager with potential. (The Athletic sub. req.)
- The Guardians announced that former catcher Stephen Vogt will be their new manager. Vogt retired after the 2022 season and spent last year as the Mariners’ bullpen coach, his only experience as a coach.
