This is Francona’s third manager of the year win.

He won back in 2013, which was his first season in Cleveland, and again in 2016 after leading the team to the World Series.

The Guardians manager beat out Orioles manager Brandon Hyde and Mariners Scott Servais for the award.

The Cleveland Guardians went 92-70 this season on the way to the AL Central title.

They did that despite having the youngest roster in the league and having 17 players make their MLB debut in 2022.
