Venable's implied probability sits at 75.8%, having traded between 22.4% and 76.3% in recent weeks.. The market resolves to the manager who wins the 2026 American League Manager of the Year award. If two managers tie, official MLB tiebreaking rules decide the winner. Should multiple winners be announced, the market settles on the manager whose last name comes first alphabetically. If the 2026 MLB season is cancelled, postponed past December 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET, or no winner is declared by then, the market resolves to “Other”. The resolution source is official MLB information, though a consensus of credible reporting may also be used. The market’s valuation will shift as the season progresses and the award announcement approaches. The resolution deadline is December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET; if no winner is declared by that time, the contract resolves to “Other”. Official MLB announcements or credible reporting consensus will settle the outcome.
