The search for the next manager of the Orioles has begun in earnest.<\/p>\n
Baltimore has started the interview process with managerial candidates, a source said. At his end-of-season press conference<\/a>, president of baseball operations Mike Elias said the Orioles hoped to hire a manager \u201cASAP,\u201d cognizant of the competition that will come from multiple openings across the league.<\/p>\n Tony Mansolino, the interim manager who took over after Brandon Hyde\u2019s firing in May, is a \u201creal candidate,\u201d<\/a> Elias said last month. Other internal options might include bench coach Robinson Chirinos and longtime Triple-A manager Buck Britton. Former utility infielder Ryan Flaherty, who went on to be the bench coach for the San Diego Padres and Chicago Cubs, is also expected to receive interest from Baltimore and other destinations.<\/p>\n A twist was thrown into the managerial hunt when Mike Shildt retired as the Padres manager following their exit from the postseason. That opens another coveted position with a star-studded roster.<\/p>\n The Texas Rangers have already filled their managerial position by hiring Skip Schumaker<\/a>. The other openings belong to: the Minnesota Twins, Washington Nationals, Los Angeles Angels, Atlanta Braves, San Francisco Giants and Colorado Rockies.<\/p>\n When Orioles right-hander Tyler Wells described at the end of the season the characteristics he most values in a manager, they boiled down to \u201cconsistency they show up every day, and the way that they treat people,\u201d and \u201cbeing effective communicators.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThose are the two most important traits for a manager,\u201d Wells said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been fortunate to have that with the last two people, with Hyder and with Manso.\u201d<\/p>\n Those traits will surely be considered. Elias also noted that previous managerial experience could be a bonus, but not a requirement.<\/p>\n As the interview process unfolds, this story will be updated with candidates who have spoken with the Orioles.<\/p>\n Luis Rojas, Yankees third base coach<\/p>\n According to SNY<\/a>, the Orioles interviewed Luis Rojas for their managerial position. Rojas, who managed the Mets in 2020 and 2021, is currently the third base coach for the Yankees.<\/p>\n Rojas, the son of former player and manager Felipe Alou, was a longtime minor league coach and manager before an unexpected rise to the top job on a major league staff. Rojas was hired as a coach on Carlos Beltr\u00e1n\u2019s Mets staff after the 2019 season. But Beltr\u00e1n\u2019s role in the Astros\u2019 sign-stealing scandal prompted Beltr\u00e1n and the club to mutually part ways<\/a>, and Rojas was promoted as a first-time manager in the majors.<\/p>\n His two-year tenure in New York didn\u2019t play out spectacularly. In the coronavirus-shortened 2020, the Mets finished 26-34. In 2021, the Mets sat in first place for 103 days only to stumble down the stretch and finish with a 77-85 record \u2014 setting a record for the most days in first only to end with a losing record<\/a>.<\/p>\n Rojas\u2019 club option was declined<\/a>, which ended his tenure as Mets manager, and he joined Aaron Boone\u2019s staff <\/a>across town.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The search for the next manager of the Orioles has begun in earnest.
