Good Morning, Birdland!
It won’t truly be “the offseason” for a couple more weeks, but the Orioles are already making moves. It was reported on Friday that the team would be parting ways with three coaches, bench coach Fredi González, major league coach Jose Hernández, and co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller.
What sort of impact those changes make is unclear, especially since we do not yet know if/how those coaches will be replaced. An injection of new voices would seem to be a welcome adjustment given how flat the club appeared from July on.
Some online have speculated that the organization could look to promote Triple-A manager Buck Britton to the major league staff in some capacity.
