Cleveland Guardians manager Stephen Vogt insists he won't be working for a different team next season.
"I'll be in Cleveland," Vogt told reporters Thursday, according to MLB.com's Tim Stebbins.
"I'm here. I'm coming back."
Vogt, whose family lives an hour outside of Seattle, has been linked to the Mariners' managerial opening. Seattle is on the hunt for a new manager and coaching staff following a disappointing season in which the team finished 10 games below .500 under Dan Wilson.
The 41-year-old Vogt has managed the Guardians for the past three seasons and was named AL Manager of the Year in 2024 and 2025.
The Guardians have won three straight division titles under Vogt but haven't reached the World Series during his tenure.
