Orioles Fire Hyde Amid Six-Game Losing Streak

The Baltimore Orioles have become one of MLB's most disappointing teams in 2025, suffering a 15-30 start and enduring a six-game losing streak. Ineffective pitching, worsened by key injuries and the loss of ace Corbin Burnes, has left the club with a high ERA and continued struggles. Manager Brandon Hyde was fired amid the downturn, but the team's performance has not improved, fueling criticism of GM Mike Elias for poor offseason decisions and inadequate roster construction. Many analysts and former executives recommend the Orioles look outside for new managerial leadership and consider trading valuable players at the trade deadline to initiate a rebuild. The franchise, once seen as a World Series contender, now faces a critical period of transition. Playoff hopes for the season are now considered nearly extinguished.
