The team fired manager Brandon Hyde on Saturday amid a three-game skid and a 15-28 start to the season, sitting at the bottom of the AL East and fourth-worst in the MLB.
“As the head of baseball operations, the poor start to our season is ultimately my responsibility,” Orioles executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias said in a statement. “Part of that responsibility is pursuing difficult changes in order to set a different course for the future. I want to thank Brandon for his hard work, dedication and passion all these years, and for returning the team to the playoffs and winning an AL East championship.”
Field coordinator Tim Cossins was also relieved of his duties. Third base coach Tony Mansolino will serve as interim manager.
