Overview
- Baltimore is expected to hire Joe Singley as field coordinator and major league catching coach and Miguel Cairo as infield coach, according to multiple reports, with no official team announcement yet.
- Singley, 28, comes from the Marlins after serving as catching coach, assistant catching director and bullpen catcher, following two seasons as a bullpen catcher with the Reds.
- He effectively replaces duties previously handled by Tim Cossins, who was dismissed in May, and is expected to work closely with Adley Rutschman and developing young catcher Samuel Basallo.
- Cairo arrives after managing the Nationals on an interim basis in 2025 following Dave Martinez’s dismissal, was previously Washington’s bench coach, and earlier held roles with the White Sox, Yankees and Mets.
- The additions continue the Orioles’ coaching overhaul under first-time manager Craig Albernaz, joining earlier hires Donnie Ecker, Dustin Lind and Jason Bourgeois, with several coaches returning per reports.
