Orioles Plan Increased Spending After Disappointing Postseason Exit

General Manager Mike Elias confirms Brandon Hyde's return as manager and anticipates a higher payroll for 2025.

The Orioles were eliminated from the playoffs by the Royals, marking a second consecutive postseason sweep.
Despite the disappointing finish, GM Mike Elias announced that Brandon Hyde will continue as manager for the 2025 season.
Injuries plagued the team's rotation, with key pitchers requiring surgery, and the lineup struggled in the latter part of the season.
With new ownership under David Rubenstein, Elias expects increased financial resources to bolster the roster.
The team faces key departures, including Corbin Burnes and Anthony Santander, but plans to be more active in the free-agent market.
