This market will resolve to the manager who wins the 2026 National League Manager of the Year award for the 2026 MLB Season. In the event of a tie, this market will resolve according to the official winner as determined by MLB rules. If multiple winners are announced then this market will resolve to the manager whose listed last name comes first alphabetically. If the 2026 MLB season is cancelled, postponed after December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or there is otherwise no winner declared within that timeframe, this market will resolve to “Other”. The resolution source for this market will be official information from Major League Baseball; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
Pat Murphy leads the NL Manager of the Year market on the strength of the Milwaukee Brewers’ MLB-best 85-52 record and consistent overperformance relative to payroll expectations in a third straight season. Walt Weiss trails closely in trader pricing due to the Atlanta Braves’ division-leading 82-55 mark and sharp improvement in his first year at the helm following Brian Snitker’s retirement. Craig Counsell, Torey Lovullo, and Craig Stammen sit further back as their clubs occupy solid but secondary positions in the standings. The fragmented field reflects the absence of a runaway narrative, with late-season records, playoff positioning, and historical voter preferences for turnaround stories versus sustained excellence likely shaping final balloting.
