On Saturday, the Baltimore Orioles announced the firing of manager Brandon Hyde. After making the playoffs in two consecutive seasons, the Orioles were off to a 15-28 start and felt like they needed a new voice in the clubhouse to help turn things around.

Elias praised Hyde for getting the Orioles back into contention but said the time had come for a new voice. Baltimore has gone 0-3 since Mansolino was promoted from third-base coach.

Three days after announcing the firing of Brandon Hyde, Orioles general manager Mike Elias shared why organizational brass collectively chose to move on from the manager who piloted Baltimore’s rebuild.
