Overview

  • Brandon Hyde, who managed the Orioles since 2019 and led them to two playoff appearances, was fired on May 17, 2025, after the team fell to last place in the AL East.
  • Third base coach Tony Mansolino has been named interim manager, while field coordinator Tim Cossins was also let go as part of the organizational changes.
  • General Manager Mike Elias and owner David Rubenstein emphasized accountability for the team's poor performance, citing a need to change direction after a 10½-game division deficit.
  • The Orioles have struggled across the board in 2025, with one of the league's worst pitching staffs, underperforming offense, and injuries to key players exacerbating their woes.
  • Despite increased payroll and offseason acquisitions, Baltimore's disappointing start has placed scrutiny on the front office's roster construction and long-term strategy.
