MLB manager hot seat: Aaron Boone and more whose jobs could be on the line - CBS Sports

As the 2026 MLB regular season heads into its final month, CBS Sports examined which managers could be at risk, focusing on teams’ September performance and postseason outlook. The piece lists multiple candidates, noting that Andy Green’s situation is excluded because he previously said he will return to a front-office role after the season. Among those considered, Craig Albernaz of the Orioles is described as most vulnerable if Baltimore misses the playoffs and finishes below .500, despite being under pressure for improving a roster built under GM Mike Elias. Aaron Boone of the Yankees is framed as “almost certainly safe” due to a contract through 2027 and consistent playoff expectations. Joe Espada of the Astros is viewed as likely to leave when his contract ends, with Mark Kotsay of the Athletics also facing scrutiny amid a poor season.
