Seven candidates to be the next Baltimore Orioles manager

Seven candidates to be the next Baltimore Orioles manager

The Orioles need a new manager. And while Tony Manelino seems to at least be in play to get the job full-time, there are many other options out there. I’m going to run through some of them coming up on this episode of the Locked On Orioles podcast. You are Locked on Orioles, your daily Baltimore Orioles podcast, part of the Locked On Network. your team every day. Hey there Orioles fans. Today is Thursday, October 2nd, 2025 and welcome back in to the Locked on Orioles podcast, part of the Locked on Podcast Network, your team every day. As always, I’m your host Connor Nukem. And coming up on today’s episode, we are going to look some of the managerial candidates for the Orioles. Michael Elias said on Monday that Tony Manscelino hasn’t gotten the job or not gotten the job at this point. He is just one of the candidates. To me, what that says is they’re probably leaning towards an outside hire. Now, we’re going to talk about the merits of Manscolino, the pros and cons of hiring him to the full-time job, but then give you six other names from around baseball who could fit in that Orioles managerial seat in 2026 and beyond.

But let’s get things going with seven managerial candidates for the Orioles. Of course, Brandon Hyde was fired by the O’s back on May 17th after a 15-28 start to the season in his seventh year as Orioles manager. Tony Manelino was inserted as the interim manager. He goes 60 and 59 at the helm. Definitely steadies the ship in the final four months and change, but didn’t do anything that wows you that makes you say absolutely he should get the full-time gig and get an extension. And that is pretty much what Michaelas alluded to in his end of season press conference on Monday. He said that Tony Manelino is a candidate for the job at this point. They’re looking to hire a manager quote ASAP and they seemingly are going to interview outside candidates for this job as well. So, I wanted though to start with Manselina because there was a situation a possibility and again I am recording this here on Monday night. Just had some scheduling issues this week. Had to bank some episodes. But there was a situation where Elias could have gone out there in that Monday press conference and basically said, “Hey, we thank Tony Manelino so much for his time. We’re going to be moving on. We’re going to be looking to hire a full-time manager from outside the organization.” But he didn’t say that. He said Manelino was a candidate. Manelino’s quotes make it think that he at least thinks he will be a candidate for the job. No better interview than managing 119 games for the Orioles down the stretch. And so, let’s first talk about the potential reality of Manelino really being considered for this job, right? He’s 43 years old, was the interim manager for 119 games, went 60 and 59. Definitely steady the ship for this team and the players have shown him support. There was a good story uh on MLB.com by Jake Reill a couple of days ago. got quotes from Jackson Holiday, Gunnar Henderson, Colton Cowser, Jordan Westber, and Kobe Mayo. All five big parts of this team who probably all five will be on this opening day roster next year. And they all talked in the piece about how Manelino has their respect, how professional he’s been, how great he’s been at building and maintaining relationships. They really like his communication style in the clubhouse. Not afraid to tell guys how it is, tell them when they’re not performing up to standards. And they they seem to like that in that clubhouse. Now, Tony Manelino was hired by the Orioles as their third base coach in 2021. He was also coaching the infielders as a part of the major league staff. He was in that role until May when he was promoted to interim when Brandon Hyde was fired. He’s kind of a baseball junkie. His dad’s been a coach forever. He played for Tim Corbin at Vanderbilt in the early 2000s. Did Tony was drafted by the Pirates in 2005, played six years in the minor, got up to double A, but never beyond that. Then in 2011 was hired after his playing career was over to be a minor league hitting coach in the Cleveland Guardians organization. And then he just kept moving up the Cleveland system. Moved up as you know a hitting coach and a field coach until 2016 when they gave him his first managerial job at low A. Then in 2017 he was moved up to the manager in high A in Cleveland. Won the league that year. managed double A in 2018 and then he kept rising up the ranks, managed the Cleveland AAA team in 2019 and won the league again that year. He was promoted to be a part uh of the Guardians coaching staff during the 2020 COVID season when there was no minor league season and the Orioles poached him away and hired him for 2021. Now, I just wanted to kind of get to like the pros and cons of Manscolino staying and then a little bit of of where I fall in here. The pros of Manselino staying is he’s already got the relationships in that clubhouse and the respect. And while the Orioles certainly will be signing and trading for players and they they have to be adding to this major league roster this off season, the core of the team is not going to greatly change, right? These core hitters, the big-time starters, these guys are still going to be there. I don’t expect, you know, they don’t don’t have a bunch of guys hitting free agency. Don’t have a bunch of young important players they’re going to be looking to trade this off season. the Jacksons, the Gunners, the Adley’s, the Westbers, the Cowsers. These guys are going to be there. Bradish, Tyler Wells, Dean Kramer. These guys are going to be in that clubhouse. They’re going to be an important part of this team next year. And they’ve certainly made it clear that Manscelino has their respect, and they like the job that he’s done. He seems like an honest, downto-earth guy. He was he was very transparent, especially when he first took over the job from Hyde. And, you know, one of his first press conferences was just like, “Hey, this is not a good day for us. I, you know, feel like I this is not how I expected or wanted to get a big league managerial job. Like it was a little refreshing to hear that from Tony Manscolino and he now has that big league managerial experience in a really tough spot to be in interim manager for a team with high expectations that starts the year 15 and 28 and tries to climb out of a hole. Did they climb out of the hole? No. But they played over 500 ball under him and certainly played much better. He definitely steadied the ship in that year of uncertainty. And you don’t have to lose his expertise off the coaching staff entirely because more than likely if the Orioles hire a manager not named Tony Manscolino, there’s not a great chance that they’ll be able to keep Manscelino on, you know, back in his third base coach and infield coach role. Even though he seemed to be great in that role for four years, it’s weird. It’s awkward. You got to give your new manager probably a chance to fill one or two positions. I it’s not impossible, but it’s very unlikely that Manolino would stay and he’s an important part of this coaching staff as well. Orioles also, you know, they ran the bases more aggressively. It was kind of more a fun style that they played and that was directly correlated to the change in managerial ship for the Orioles and that was kind of nice to see from a team that certainly has young, has speed and and finally used it once Manselino took over. Now, there are cons of Manscolino staying and first and foremost, you don’t really get a new voice in that clubhouse. Even though the players have talked about, you know, it’s a different communication style from Manelino than it was with Hyde. There was definitely changes in there. Manelino was still on Brandon Hyde’s staff for four plus years, working in a an important position under Hyde in the same dugout, in the same clubhouse, in the same organization before taking over. At the end of the day, if you want to make changes at manager, things are not going to change as much if you just hire someone from the inside who was on that same coaching staff. You’re not going to get the big adjustment. And I don’t think at this point after this disappointing year, that the status quo, and it’s not the complete status quo, but the general status quo that it would be of keeping Manscelino is not exactly what this team and this organization needs right now. And I’m also not sure the way he talks about the game, his managerial ideas and his tactics beyond what I liked, which was kind of the the aggressive base running. Not sure they really fit the Orioles model, their goals, the modern game, the way they want to play under Michaelas in this front office. I’m not sure it’s the perfect fit with him as manager. Now, I think Vantelino deserves an interview. Honestly, think I think those 119 games were his interview. I think at the end of the day, he did a really good job in a really tough situation taking over for Brandon Hyde, but I do think it’s probably better for the Orioles to hire from the outside if they’re really serious about shaking things up and getting on a a new path here a little bit. I just think that it’s important they hire an outside manager, whether that’s a veteran, an upandcomer, we’ll get to that. And while I think Tony Manelino for his service and I hope there’d be some way that could keep him on the coaching staff, even though it’s unlikely if they do hire someone else, I think it’s just a better idea to go in a different direction for what this team wants to do moving forward. And if they do that, I absolutely hope Manolino Manelino can get another managing job. He’ll certainly get another coaching job in the Big Leagues, but get a managerial job here sometime soon. It’s certainly something he wants, and he definitely had a lot of positives in his run with the Orioles. But I, if I had to predict it right now, you say Tony Manelino or the Field. always take the field, but it’s a little different because one was interum and been with the organization. I I I think I’d take the field and I think I’d want the Orioles to take the field. So, who is out there in the field? Six other managerial candidates for the Orioles that they could hire this off season. That’s coming up next. But first, this episode of the Locked Orioles podcast is brought to you by FanDuel.

Now, it’s on to the other candidates. Now, I did an episode like this back in May, right after Brandon Hyde was fired and gave some of my early candidates. Some of them I still feel are candidates and carried them over. And some of them are new names who I did not talk about in that May episode. So, I’m going to start with kind of the three guys who have big league managerial experience. I’ve kind of split this up into two categories. Have the experience as a big league manager and don’t. Let’s start with the guys who have the experience. The first one I want to talk about is Scott Service, 58-year-old who is currently the Padres’s special assistant for player development, working mostly in their front office, but has also been kind of, you know, popping in as a coach for their minor league teams as well. His managerial experience with the Seattle Mariners, he managed the Mariners from 2016 until August of 2024 when he was fired late last season. Now, he only made the playoffs once. That was in 2022, which broke the Mariners long 21-year playoff drought. But he did have five other seasons, 2016, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2023, where the Mariners were within like two or three games of the postseason and a couple of year of these years within one game of the playoffs. He was oh so close. Wasn’t getting the greatest financial backing from the front office and ownership, but he made things work. But things had gone stale. The Mariners were 64 and 64 last August and he was fired and then was hired by the Padres’s to work in their front office. Now he kind of brings you the best of both worlds because worked in player development and in the front office. That was kind of his first job after his playing days. Did that for the Rangers for seven years from 2004 to 2010. And then Jerry Dotto, who was then the uh Angels GM, hired service to be his assistant GM in 2011. And he was in that role for five years. But when Jerry Dotto left the Angels to be the Mariners GM in 2016, he got Scott Service to come with him, but not to be his assistant GM again, to put him in the dugout as a manager. And while you could say, Connor, he made one postseason in nine years. Is that really successful for the Mariners? Mariners fans, I think, look back on the time of Scott Service fairly fondly. Now, to be fair, in their first full year under Dan Wilson, they did win their first AOS title in 24 years. You could say, “Why couldn’t service do that when Dan Wilson did it in his first full season?” That’s a legitimate criticism of Scott Service, but I think he did a pretty good job with what he was given in that role. He’s got the player development experience, the front office experience, and the dugout experience, and the playing experience kind of gives you everything you want that the O’s could be looking for. you know, he was he was an 11-year big league catcher uh from 1991 to 2001. Astros, Cubs, Giants, and Rockies in his career. So, he kind of brings you all the different levels you would want out of a manager. Next guy in the was a manager pathway is Skip Schumacher, 45-year-old who currently serves as the senior adviser to Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young in the Texas front office. Now, Schumacher was also recently a manager. Managed the Miami Marlins for two years, 2023 and 2024. Miraculously got into the postseason in 2023, then went 62 and 98 last year. Left the team at the end of the year. A front office shakeup was coming and he did not return. Now, before that, he was the first base coach and then the associate manager for the Padres’s when they started to get good from 2017 to 2021. He was then the bench coach for the Cardinals in 2022. was kind of seen as the hottest upand cominging manager and was hired by the Marlins the next year. Now Schumacher former infielder 11 years in the big leagues 05 to 2015 Cardinals Dodgers and Reds most known for his time with the Cardinals and is really seen as one of the top managerial candidates out there. Now Schumacher along with service was one of the guys who I did not bring up in that initial episode like this all the way back in May after Brandon Hyde was fired. And the reason why I didn’t bring him up is that I think there’s a reason instead of taking a coaching job, he took that front office job with the Rangers this year. And that is that I think he’s the manager in waiting in Texas. Texas has Bruce Bochi as their manager. He is 70 years old. He won a World Series for Texas in 2023, but they’ve now missed the postseason and back-to-back years since then. They brought him out of retirement just to take that job. He’s hinted at retirement. And oh yeah, the San Francisco Giants just fired Bob Melvin this week. Buster Posey is their PO. Bob Melvin or excuse me, Bruce Bochi was his manager in San Francisco. There’s going to be retirement pulling Bochi. There’s also going to be the Giants potentially trying to pull Bochi back, I think. And his contract is up in Texas. I think Bochi’s done in Texas and I think they’re just going to stick Skip Schumacher back in the dugout to be their manager. So although I think he’s a good candidate and I have him on the list because he’s good enough, I think he’s ticketed for that Rangers job. Now if he doesn’t want it and he wants another challenge, maybe the Orioles can go out there and get him. And the last former manager I’d be looking at is David Ross. 48 years old, currently not working in Major League Baseball, but spent 15 season as a catcher in the big leagues from 2002 to 2016. Won the World Series with the Cubs in his final season. played for a bunch of teams, Braves, Reds, Dodgers, Red Sox, Cubs, Pirates, and Padres’s in his time. And then as soon as he retired after 2016, the Cubs hired him as a special assistant in the front office. Also worked as a game analyst on the broadcast on ESPN for a while. And then the Cubs said, “It’s finally David Ross time.” In October of 2019, they hired Ross as their new manager. He managed for four seasons for the Cubs and then was fired in November of 2023. He did make the expanded COVID playoffs in 2020 in his first year. They lost to the Marlins in the first round, but then won 71,74 and 83 games in each of the next three seasons. Missed the playoffs in all three and was fired. He finished with a 480 winning percentage in his four years as a big league manager. Now, Ken Rosenthal last off season reported that the Orioles were interested in David Ross to be their bench coach. Remember the Orioles let go of Freddy Gonzalez as Brandon Hid’s bench coach after last year. They eventually hired Robinson Torinos to come into that role. But reportedly they were interested in Ross, but Rosenthal reported that the Yankees came to David Ross with the same interest the year before, right after he was fired by the Cubs. And Ross turned down the interview, saying he would only come back to the dugout as a manager, not as a bench coach. So now that the Orioles have a managerial opening, if they are still interested in someone like David Ross, I would not be surprised if they reach back out to try and get an interview with the former World Series champ and the Cubs skipper. Those are the three former managers I’m really really targeting. Other guys who you could maybe put on the list, Bob Melvin, veteran guy, was fired by the Giants this week. Roco Baldelli fired by the Twins this week. Derek Shelton, fired by the Pirates earlier this year. all potential candidates. Brad Osmus, the Yankees bench coach, not sure how much he wants to leave and manage another team, but he was a former manager of the Tigers. All names who I would also just throw out there as guys who have been managers in the past. But there are also interesting names who have not managed in the past. Maybe they’ve been on big league coaching staffs, been around the game in different ways. I think all of them could fit for certain reasons in Baltimore. I’ll get to those three names to finish out the show. coming up next. But first, this episode of the Locked On Orioles podcast is also brought to you by Prize Picks.

Let’s start with Rodney Lenerys Ray’s bench coach since 2023. Lenar who before that had been the Rays third base coach since 2019 has been working under Kevin Cash who is seen to be one of the best managers in the game. Now, Lenar’s had a brief pro career and then began coaching in the Astros system at age 21 all the way back in 1999 and spent a long, long time there. He was the hitting coach for the DSL Astros for six years, then the hitting coach in low A for two years, then managed in rookie ball for three years, then managed in low A for two years from 2010 to 2011. And that final year in rookie ball in Lexington or excuse me in low A in Lexington 2011 was when Mike Elias was hired by the Astros front office. He then managed in high A for three years with one league championship. Then managed in double A for three years and then finally was the AAA manager of the Fresno Grizzlies in 2018. And again all that time from 11 to 18 was while Mike Elias was working in the Astros front office and Lenaris was a manager in the Astro system. Then he was hired by the Rays to be their third base coach at the big league level in 2019. He also has a little outside of MLB managerial experience, not just the minor leagues, but he managed the Dominican Republic team at the 2023 World Baseball Classic with a lot of big names there. And his name was definitely tossed around for some managerial openings last winter. He is a guy who I think people are potentially keen on bringing in. you know, he’s mid late 40s now and seems to be ready for this job. Also, his dad, Julio Lanerys, has been playing, coaching, or working in the front office for the Astros since 1973. This is like another baseball man, baseball lifer, who has been working under one of the best in Kevin Cash, knows Mike Elias. I think this is probably a guy who’s getting an interview. And hey, the Rays are not in the playoffs, so he’s easier to interview, right? Same with Schumacher with the Rangers not in the playoffs. And then service. Yes, the Padres’s in the playoffs, but he’s in a front office role, so you could probably interview him. And David Ross you could easily interview right now and maybe hire right now. Lenaris is in the same boat. Now, one guy it’d be a little tougher to hire right now because he’s at least at time of recording here on Monday night still alive in the playoffs. That is our old friend Ryan Flity. One of the great Colt hero or all time. and Flity, who’s 38 years old and is currently in his second season as the bench coach for the Chicago Cubs. And I just talked about how Lenaris as the bench coach for the Rays working under one of the best in the game and Kevin Cash. Many think that Craig Council, Cubs manager, is the best manager in the game. And Ryan Flity’s been his number two for the last two seasons. Flity played at Vanderbilt under Tim Corbin just like Tony Manelino and was taken by the Orioles in the 2011 rule five draft. played for the Orioles for six years, 2012 to 2016. One of Buck Sho Walter’s absolute favorites as a utility guy. You started a lot, started the 2014 postseason with Manny Machado out at third base for the O’s. Then played a little bit in the big leagues for the Braves and Cleveland before he retired in 2019. In November of that year, the Padres’s hired him as a development coach and an advanced scout. And then he got promoted to the big league staff for the Padres’s and worked on their major league staff in the dugout through the 2023 season. Even in 2022, he was the acting manager for the Padres’s for a couple of games in June of that year when their manager Bob Melvin got COVID. He was promoted to the bench coach for the Padres’s in 2023 and then hired away by the Cubs last year when Craig Councel took that job. Flity got some managerial interviews last winter, wasn’t hired in any jobs, so came back to the Cubs for his second season. But it seems like this is not just an Orioles Ryan Flity thing. It seems like it’s just a matter of time before Ryan Flity himself gets a big league managerial job. I would be shocked if either this off seasonason or next off seasonason somebody does not hire Ryan Flity to be their manager. So if the Orioles think he’s one of the upandcomers, one of the next good managers, he’s got that O’s connection. Some people want them to bring Buck Shoalter back. That’s not happening. But Flity kind of a Buck Shoalter guy. Wouldn’t that be funny? Ryan Flity, the next Orioles manager. I think it’s a legitimate possibility. I think they’re almost certainly going to reach out at least for an interview. And the final guy who has not been a big league manager, at least not for any games, is someone who I actually brought up in the May episode and someone who was probably the had the biggest split amongst what people thought for this team and I think would evoke the biggest reaction if it was even reported he got an interview for this job. But my final candidate I want to bring up is Carlos Beltron. 48 years old, currently a special assistant to the GM for the Mets. Now you know Carlos Beltran played 20 years in the big leagues from 1998 to 2017. Mets, Royals, Yankees, Cardinals, Astros, Rangers, and Giants. Won the World Series with the Astros and Mike Elias in his final big league season in 2017. The book Astro Ball talked about how the Astros brought him in to kind of be a clubhouse leader. He didn’t have the greatest season of all time that year, but showed leadership in the clubhouse. Then a couple years later, it turns out, well, he was kind of the leader of the trash can banging scheme that helped the Astros to that World Series title in 2017 and brought a lot of shame to that organization. Yeah. So, Beltron has that hanging over his head. Now, he did interview for the Yankees managerial job in 2018. Didn’t get it. That’s when it went to Aaron Boon. And then he interviewed and was actually hired by the Mets to be their new manager in November of 2019. However, shortly after that, the Astros scandal broke and Beltron was fired in January, 2 months after being hired without ever managing a game for the Mets. So, he’s technically been a big league manager, but has never managed a game. He was then hired by the Yankees to be a TV analyst in the booth. Then the Mets hired him in 2023 to work in the front office, and he has been there ever since. Now, this would be kind of a polarizing hire, but it’s a guy that Elias knows that he brought in at one point to provide leadership to a young clubhouse. It worked and it also didn’t work. It would rub some people the wrong way. But honestly, if the Orioles think Carlos Beltron can give this team an edge without cheating this time and help them win baseball games and turn this around and Elias thinks he’d be a good fit in that clubhouse, I’m all for it. I’m sure some of you would not be I mean let me know right here in the lockdown Royals YouTube comments if you’d be like absolutely not. I don’t want Carlos Beltron anywhere near this team because of his involvement in the banging scheme. I would totally understand that take. More power to you. I just think at this point the O’s need to ruffle some feathers and make a change in that clubhouse. And and I this is my most off-the-wall idea, but I think Carlos Beltron could be a guy who could come in and do that. I certainly would not um take that away from the Orioles and take it away from this organization, this front office, from potentially doing it. Now, there’s a couple more candidates that again I’m not as keen on, but you know, have not really been managers in the past who could be in this role. Craig Albernaz, he’s the Guardians bench coach. Daniel Dcalo, he’s the Cardinals bench coach. Elias knows him a little bit. Um, there’s some other guys that that could be in the mix. Ricky Weeks Jr., he’s the associate manager for the Brewers. George Lumbard, he’s the Tigers bench coach. People really like him. You know, there’s some some other guys who do fall into this list. Kai Koreah has been a really hot coaching name for a while. These are some names who could come up in this process. Don’t feel that they’re at the top of the list, but but maybe some names you could see thrown out there. There’s a lot of names the are going to do their due diligence. there’s a chance that a name I haven’t mentioned at all in this entire episode could be hired, could even still be Tony Manelino, as we talked about. I don’t, you know, I waver back and forth on how important the managerial job is for a big league team, how important a head coach is, for any professional sports organization. It’s important. I’m just not sure it’s as important as people make it out to be at times. I still think this is a very important hire. It’s the first big move they’re going to make this off season. I think they need to get it right. I think any of these seven people I mentioned today in in you know full detail could be getting it right in some shape way or form. Again I I think it’s more likely and I think I would rather them move away from Mancelino and make an outside hire. Again there’s you know guys like maybe Buck Britain or Robinson Torino you know could certainly also get an interview here from inside the organization too along with Manelino. I just think it’s going to be someone from the outside. Maybe it is one of these guys. But as the rumors come out, interviews, who they’re talking to, we will have it all covered here on the Locked On Orioles podcast. We’ll be back for one more episode this week. That’s coming up tomorrow. I want to look a little bit on how it’s fared when teams do fully hire their interim managers because again, still a chance for Manscolino. The Pirates just did it. They fired Derek Shelton earlier in the year, promoted Don Kelly from bench coach, and announced this week that he would be taking over fully with a contract extension to be the Pirates manager. It’s worked out at times, it hasn’t worked out at others. We’ll look back at some of the history of that and then get you a little Orioles news and notes as well to finish off the week on tomorrow’s episode. But until then, I’m Connor Nukem and this has been the Locked Orioles podcast, part of the Locked on Podcast Network, your team every day.

The Baltimore Orioles are making a managerial hire this offseason, and while Tony Mansolino is certainly in the mix, there are many outside candidates as well. Host Connor Newcomb runs through seven candidates who could get the job, including Ryan Flaherty, David Ross, and Scott Servais.
