BALTIMORE -- It appears as if the Orioles organization is going to wipe the slate clean. Hours after it broke that the club was moving on from manager Buck Showalter, news trickled out Wednesday evening that executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette would not be retained, either.
The Duquette dismissal, confirmed by multiple sources to MLB.com, has not been confirmed by the club, which has released no official word on the status of either Showalter or Duquette. News of Duquette being let go was first reported by MLB Network insider Ken Rosenthal.
Some believed that Duquette -- whose contract, like Showalter's, was also up this season -- would be given a chance to stay in some capacity, but that does not appear to be the case.
