The Orioles made it official, hiring Brandon Hyde as their new manager:


“I believe that we have found the ideal leader for the next era of Orioles baseball,” Elias said of Hyde.


Hyde worked as Chicago’s bench coach this year under manager Joe Maddon. He was in the second of three seasons as Cubs first base coach when the team won the World Series in 2016.


Before that, Hyde served as Rick Renteria’s bench coach in Chicago in 2014. He previously served as Chicago’s director of player development from August 2012 through 2013 after joining the Cubs in December 2011 as their minor league field coordinator.

That last bit is important, as Hyde will lead the rebuild of the team.
