Guardians manager Vogt tweaks staff after winning AL Central title. Willis, Alomar Jr. both return

Associated Press  

CLEVELAND — Guardians manager Stephen Vogt will have two invaluable coaches again by his side for his second season. A finalist for AL Manager of the Year after leading Cleveland to 92 regular-season wins and an AL Central title, Vogt tweaked his staff on Wednesday with the biggest moves being Craig Albernaz and Carl Willis staying put. Albernaz, who was the club’s bench coach in 2024, was promoted to associate manager while Willis will return for his 15th season in Cleveland. “I couldn’t be more thankful that Carl’s coming back, what he means to this organization, what he means to me, what he means to our pitchers and the rest of our staff,” Vogt said. “As we looked at the landscape of the hitting across the game,” Vogt said, “we kept going back to Grant and what he brings from a leadership standpoint, from familiarity with a lot of our players and familiarity with the other three hitting coaches on our staff.” Also, first-base coach Sandy Alomar Jr. will be back in 2025 for his 16th season.
