"As the head of baseball operations, the poor start to our season is ultimately my responsibility," Orioles executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias said in a news release. "Part of that responsibility is pursuing difficult changes in order to set a different course for the future.

"I want to thank Brandon for his hard work, dedication and passion all these years and for returning the team to the playoffs and winning an AL East championship. His many positive contributions to this organization and to Baltimore will remain, and we wish he and his family the best."

Hyde was in his seventh year as manager of the Orioles. He was with the team through the rebuilding years, going 54-108 in 2019 and 52-110 in 2021. The poor seasons allowed the team to acquire Gunnar Henderson, Jackson Holliday and Adley Rutschman.
