Orioles fire Brandon Hyde amid horrid start

While there were questions surrounding Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde and his job security, the team has made the decision to relieve him of his duties after a frustrating start to the season, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN. With the Orioles’ playoff hopes dwindling, there could be some hope that the reality check for the team can boost a turnaround.

Passan also reported that Tony Mansolino will serve as the interim manager for Baltimore after Hyde and that another firing took place in field coordinator Tim Cossins. The Orioles are currently 15-28 after having a 91-71 record last season and making the playoffs.
