The Baltimore Orioles became the third MLB team to fire their manager in the last 10 days. The Pittsburgh Pirates fired Derek Shelton while the Colorado Rockies parted ways with Bud Black. The O’s are having a miserable season, and they hope to make things better by letting go of Brandon Hyde.
Here’s a look at the top contenders to take over the Orioles’ managerial role.
Top 4 Candidates For The Next Orioles Manager
4) Tony Mansolino
Mansolino is currently serving as the team’s interim manager. The O’s are aware of Mansolino’s work since he’s been the team’s third base coach. The interim manager has experience serving the Cleveland Guardians as a manager in the minor leagues. The O’s might just sing Tony Mansolino as their next manager.
3) Buck Britton
Another internal candidate is Buck Britton, who’s been a long-time coach in the Orioles’ minor league system. Britton made it to the big leagues in 2024, and he’s certainly one of the leading candidates for the role.
2) Skip Schumaker

Everyone in the MLB is aware of Skip Schumaker and his work with the Miami Marlins. Schumaker was the 2023 National League Manager of the Year, and the O’s will benefit from signing him. However, Schumaker is currently the senior advisor for the Texas Rangers. The O’s will need to give him a good offer to bring him over to Baltimore.
1) David Ross
If the Orioles want to win, then David Ross is the ultimate candidate. Ross is a two-time World Series champion and a former Chicago Cubs manager. Sadly, he parted ways with the team in 2023. Ross will jump at the opportunity of becoming a manager. He has the right leadership skills and is the perfect candidate to help the team reach the playoffs.
Baltimore Orioles Need More Than A Manager To Help The Team
The O’s have not done much in the offseason. They failed to bring in top stars and failed to retain Anthony Santander. It’s been a rough offseason, and they need more than a manager to help the team win. The Orioles are currently at the bottom of the AL East league with a poor 15-29 record. Baltimore is ranked No. 24 in the week 7 MLB power rankings.
