CLEVELAND — Guardians manager Stephen Vogt made some tweaks to Cleveland’s coaching staff following his successful first season with the club.
Vogt, a finalist for AL Manager of the Year after leading the Guardians to 92 wins and an AL Central title, promoted Craig Albernaz to associate manager. Albernaz was the club’s bench coach in 2024.
The team also promoted Grant Fink to hitting coach. He’ll replace Chris Valaika, who joined manager Terry Francona’s staff in Cincinnati. Fink was the club’s minor league hitting coordinator the past three seasons.
First base coach Sandy Alomar Jr. will be back in 2025 for his 16th season and Carl Willis for his 15th.
In addition, the Guardians promoted Kai Correa to major league field coordinator/director of defense, baserunning and game strategy.
