Orioles Fire Coaching Staff After Playoff Exit

The Baltimore Orioles have made significant changes to their coaching staff for the 2025 season, dismissing co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, bench coach Fredi González, and major league coach José Hernández following another early playoff exit. The decision comes after a disappointing postseason performance that highlighted a stark decline in the team's offensive production. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Phillies are also facing scrutiny after their disappointing postseason, with calls for roster changes following a series of offensive struggles and bullpen failures in their recent NLDS loss to the New York Mets. The Orioles' general manager Mike Elias has indicated an increase in payroll may be forthcoming but questions remain about retaining key free agents. As both teams look to rebound from disappointing seasons, the Orioles' coaching changes reflect a broader commitment to improving postseason performance, while the Phillies are expected to explore trades for underperforming players. MLB also adjusted the schedule for Game 5 of the ALDS between the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Guardians due to weather concerns, moving the time to 1:08 PM.
