Orioles Open Managerial Search With Tony Mansolino in the Mix

Elias set an ASAP timeline involving ownership after Baltimore’s 75-87 finish.

Overview

  • President of baseball operations Mike Elias said Tony Mansolino will be a “real candidate” as the club also interviews external options.
  • Elias said the team wants to hire a manager ASAP and that ownership, business leadership and front-office executives will participate in the decision.
  • The move follows a last-place AL East finish at 75-87 after Brandon Hyde was fired on May 17 and Mansolino led the club the rest of the way.
  • Elias said Baltimore is evaluating whether to add a general manager under his leadership as the front office reshapes for 2026.
  • Mansolino said he hopes to remain but may need to seek other opportunities, drawing praise for his leadership during a summer of injuries and major trade-deadline turnover.
