"Former Orioles skipper Brandon Hyde is in talks with the Rays about taking a position within the organization, reports Robert Murray of Fansided. The two parties have been discussing a senior advisor role that would see Hyde work with both the major league club and various minor league affiliates, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times adds. Murray indicates that while an agreement has not yet been finalized, Hyde is expected to end up working for the Rays for the upcoming season."
"Hyde oversaw winning teams each season from 2022-24 and was named 2023 AL Manager of the Year after the O's won the American League East and piled up 101 victories. The Orioles went to the postseason in both 2023 and 2024 but were swept out of the playoffs both times - first in the ALDS by the eventual World Series champion Rangers and next by the Royals in the 2024 Wild Card round of play."
"The Orioles entered 2025 with big expectations but floundered out of the gates thanks to a clear lack of starting pitching and a lineup that wasn't performing as expected. By mid-May, the 15-28 Orioles had seen their season already slip away. Hyde was dismissed from his managerial post and replaced by third base coach Tony Mansolino on an interim basis."
Brandon Hyde is in talks to join the Tampa Bay Rays in a senior advisor role that would involve work with the major league club and multiple minor league affiliates. Hyde managed the Baltimore Orioles from 2019-25 and compiled a 421-491 record while overseeing a franchise teardown and rebuild under new president of baseball operations Mike Elias. Hyde led winning teams from 2022-24 and earned 2023 AL Manager of the Year after a 101-win season. The Orioles reached the postseason in 2023 and 2024 but were swept both times. A poor 15-28 start in 2025 led to Hyde's dismissal and interim replacement.
