Le Manager of the Year est le prix récompensant le meilleur manager ou gérant de la saison depuis 1983. Comme pour les autres trophées (MVP, CY), ce trophée vient récompenser deux managers par saison. L’un en American League et l’autre en National League. Une fois encore le vote appartient aux journalistes membres du “Baseball Writers Association of America” (BBWAA). Bobby Cox fut le premier gérant à remporter ce prix dans chaque ligue. D’abord avec les Blue Jays de Toronto en 1985 puis avec les Braves d’Atlanta six ans plus tard. Depuis Tony La Russa, Jim Leyland, Davey Johnson, Bob Melvin et Joe Maddon ont eux aussi remporté le prix dans les deux ligues. En 2005, Bobby Cox est devenu le premier à remporter le prix deux saisons de suite.
