"After back-to-back playoff appearances, the 2025 Orioles were 15 games under .500 by the end of May, leading to the firing of manager Brandon Hyde."
"The O's hired Craig Albernaz, who had been viewed as a manager in waiting, marking his first MLB managerial job after experience in the Rays' farm system."
"The focus then turned to the roster, with President of baseball operations Mike Elias hinting at a big offseason and the pursuit of free agents."
The Orioles finished last in 2025 after two successful seasons, prompting a major offseason overhaul. They fired manager Brandon Hyde and hired Craig Albernaz as his replacement. Albernaz, with prior minor league and big league experience, brought in new coaching staff members while retaining the pitching coaches. The organization aimed to improve the roster, particularly in starting pitching, as they sought to replace Corbin Burnes and explore free agency options, indicating a commitment to bounce back in the upcoming season.
