"Hyde becomes the first known candidate for the manager's job, as Washington's first order of business was its search for new front office boss. Paul Toboni has now had a month as president of baseball operations. The Nats haven't formally ruled out retaining interim manager Miguel Cairo, but it appears likelier that Toboni will want to hire his own replacement. He's already begun reshaping the front office, including tabbing Justin Horowitz as an assistant general manager on Friday afternoon."
"Hyde is plenty familiar with the Beltway after managing in Baltimore for parts of seven seasons. The O's won 46.1% of games during Hyde's tenure, though that's largely weighed down by the full rebuild in which they were mired for the first three years. Hyde led the O's to three consecutive winning seasons, including playoff berths in 2023 and '24. Baltimore didn't find any playoff success in either of those years but went into this season expecting to compete in the AL East."
"A terrible start tanked those plans by April. The O's were 15-28 when they fired Hyde on May 17. Baltimore played roughly .500 ball the rest of the way under Tony Mansolino. Hyde has been clear that he hopes to find another managerial opportunity. He was very loosely tied to the Giants' and Angels' searches that respectively landed on Tony Vitello and Kurt Suzuki. It's not clear if Hyde ever interviewed for either position,"
Brandon Hyde interviewed with the Washington Nationals for their managerial vacancy and stands as the first reported candidate. Paul Toboni has been president of baseball operations for a month and has begun reshaping the front office, including hiring Justin Horowitz as an assistant general manager. The Nationals have not formally ruled out interim manager Miguel Cairo, but Toboni appears likely to hire his own choice. Hyde managed the Baltimore Orioles for parts of seven seasons, delivered three consecutive winning campaigns with playoff berths in 2023 and 2024, and was dismissed after a 15-28 start on May 17. Hyde is seeking new managerial opportunities and has pursued other interviews.
