The Baltimore Orioles dismissed manager Brandon Hyde following a 15-28 start to the 2025 season, marking a significant decline after two consecutive playoff appearances. Despite Hyde's previous success, including 2023's Manager of the Year honors, the team faltered, particularly in the latter half of the previous year. Executive VP Mike Elias cited the poor start as his responsibility and announced Tony Mansolino as the interim manager. The decision reflects the high stakes in major league management, with Hyde becoming the third manager fired in recent days, highlighting the challenges faced in professional baseball.
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.
The poor start to our season is ultimately my responsibility, Orioles executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias said. Part of that responsibility is pursuing difficult changes.
It's not something you expect to come in the morning and hear, starting pitcher Cade Povich said about the firing.
We all know what we sign up for when we take this job... It's a tough gig, said Nationals manager Dave Martinez.
