Overview

  • The Orioles announced on Monday that Jared Banner will be their general manager reporting to president of baseball operations Mike Elias.
  • The team says Banner will run player development, coaching and performance and will work with Elias on strategy, staffing and talent acquisition.
  • Banner joins from the Chicago Cubs where he was assistant general manager and earlier held roles with the New York Mets and 11 years in the Boston Red Sox front office.
  • The hire follows a stalled rebuild that produced top prospects and a 2023 division title but then saw postseason failures, a 2025 managerial change, sub-.500 finishes and roster turnover including Adley Rutschman leaving.
  • An introductory press conference is scheduled for Oct. 27 and the winter offseason will be watched for changes in evaluation, coaching hires and roster moves that signal how the club plans to try to return to contention.
