Orioles Consider Manager Options As Mansolino Future Uncertain

Tony Mansolino, who served as interim manager for the Baltimore Orioles after Brandon Hyde was fired midseason, remains uncertain about his future with the team as they finished the 2025 season last in the AL East with a 75-87 record. Orioles president Mike Elias has stated that Mansolino will be a candidate for the managerial position, but the team is also exploring other options and has not finalized the decision. Mansolino expressed hope to remain with the Orioles in some capacity but acknowledged the realities of the business and the possibility of needing to seek other opportunities. Despite the disappointing season, Mansolino highlighted that the team performed much better under his leadership compared to the earlier months of the year. The Orioles face significant roster challenges, particularly with starting pitching and bullpen weaknesses, and Elias's offseason decisions, including the managerial hire and roster improvements, will be critical for the franchise's future. Elias will lead the search process with input from ownership and baseball operations as the Orioles look to rebound from their underperformance.
