After a 47-115 season in which they shipped out franchise star Manny Machado and finished 61.1 games out of first place, the Baltimore Orioles have decided that it is time to shake things up.
Following the season, Baltimore released manager Buck Showalter and vice-president/general manager Dan Duquette, who had been with their organization since 2010 and 2011, respectively.
With that, the Orioles will begin their search for new leadership in their management offices. According to The Athletic‘s Dan Connelly (courtesy of MLB Trade Rumors), Philadelphia Phillies’ assistant general manager Ned Rice is under consideration for a front office role in Baltimore.
