In recent Major League Baseball (MLB) news, the managerial landscape is undergoing significant changes. Central to this is Craig Counsell, former manager of the Milwaukee Brewers, who is reportedly looking to reset the market for managerial salaries in baseball. Counsell is seeking to at least double his previous salary of $3.5MM from the Brewers in 2023.

Counsell's decision is still pending, with a return to Milwaukee being a strong possibility. However, there are conflicting reports about his next move. Some sources suggest that Counsell is set to become the new manager for the Chicago Cubs, while others indicate that he may be considering an offer from the New York Mets. Regardless of his decision, Counsell's move is expected to have a significant impact on the market for managerial salaries.

In other MLB news, the San Diego Padres are reportedly choosing between three finalists for their managerial position, including Mike Shildt, Ryan Flaherty, and Benji Gil. The Los Angeles Angels are also close to hiring a new manager, with Gary DiSarcina, Buck Showalter, and Ron Washington among the candidates. The Miami Marlins have recently hired Peter Bendix as their president of baseball operations.

The Cleveland Guardians are still without a manager as of November 6, 2023. If Craig Counsell does not take the position, it will likely be filled by either Stephen Vogt, the Mariners' quality control coach, or Carlos Mendoza, the Yankees' bench coach. The managerial decisions in the coming days will undoubtedly shape the future of these teams and potentially the entire MLB landscape.
