Following the hiring of Craig Albernaz as their new manager, the Baltimore Orioles have begun making decisions on the rest of their coaching staff. According to Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Banner, bench coach Robinson Chirinos will not return next season as he seeks opportunities with other teams.
Three years ago, Robinson Chirinos was concluding his 11-year major league career as an Orioles catcher. He spent much of the season mentoring Adley Rutschman, who came to the Orioles on May 21st and helped turn the franchise around.
The stars were out in full force during the 2025 World Series. From Max Scherzer in Toronto to Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, and of course, Shohei Ohtani, in Los Angeles, there was no shortage of the game's best under the brightest lights.
The Baltimore Orioles had nearly $7 million to spend in its international signing bonus pool earlier this week. Among the 22 players they signed was José Peña, a shortstop from the Dominican Republic, who took home a $1 million bonus.
Robinson Chirinos is just 40 years old and only two years removed from his MLB playing career. Now, the former Texas Rangers catcher is the bench coach for the Baltimore Orioles, the team announced on Monday.
