Schneider is seen as the front runner to win the award with the season he has had in Toronto as they were not even expected to make playoffs at the start of 2025 but ended up going to game 7 of the World Series.
When looking at records, the Blue Jays also finished with the best record in the American League despite not having the best lineup on paper.
The winner for AL and NL manager of the year will be announced on November 11th, the day after the Rookie of the Year awards are announced.
