The winner for the American League 2026 Manager of the Year goes to Will Venable, Chicago White Sox. There he is. Congratulations, Will. Thanks. Thank you very much. And the final tallies look like this, with Kevin Cash getting 98, Chad Tracy 47, and then Vote and Boone. Will Venable is your AL Manager of the Year. The 2026 National League Manager of the Year goes to Pat Murphy of the Milwaukee Brewers. There he is again. Three years in a row. And every year you always jump on the show in a different location. So again, we're glad that you're feeling okay. Murph, congratulations. Here are the final totals. And you see it. Murph runs away with it for his third straight Manager of the Year award. It just keeps getting better and better in Milwaukee. Are you in the hospital because of that conversation with Springsteen? Did it really just knock you on your butt? Is that what happened? Yeah, I'll tell you that was pretty special, but no, I had to, I had the hip replaced and yeah, very grateful. You know, I think it was when the playoffs started, you just saw the way they won games, how resilient they were, how they responded to every adversity. You just got this feeling like, man, this could, we could be destined to do this. Things just happened in a way that felt like everything was going our way. We played really good teams. Obviously made a lot of progress this year and I think you know the way that things ended were disappointing. We all wanted to win the World Series. That's what every team goes into the year wanting to do and you get into that position where you're in the playoffs and you get so close and you know there's definitely disappointment. But I think overall between myself, between our players, our staff, our front office is you know there was just growth. There were things in a lot of different areas in which we were able to get better.
