An hour before his final game as Orioles interim manager, Tony Mansolino sounded as if he didn’t know whether he will remain with Baltimore next year.<\/p>\n

NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 An hour before his final game as Orioles interim manager, Tony Mansolino sounded as if he didn\u2019t know whether he will remain with Baltimore next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cHopeful I\u2019ll wear an Orioles uniform in the future one way or another but also understand that it\u2019s very likely that I got to find a job here in the next couple days and go look around, so it is part of the business,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mansolino turned 43 Sunday when the Orioles finished their season against the New York Yankees. Hired as third base coach for manager Brandon Hyde\u2019s staff ahead of the 2021 season, Mansolino took over as interim manager when his boss was fired on May 17<\/a> after a 15-28 start.<\/p>\n

Baltimore entered its finale with a 75-86 record, going 60-58 under Mansolino and assured of its first last-place finish in the AL East since 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s certainly a strange feeling of unfinished business in a lot of ways because our fate is to go home,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a little sad, is kind of the right word, that we\u2019re at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mansolino played in the minor leagues from 2005-10 before turning to coaching. He managed in the minors before moving up to Cleveland as third base coach in 2020.<\/p>\n

His father, Doug, was a coach with the Chicago White Sox, Milwaukee, Detroit and Houston from 1992 to 2007.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m confident in the opportunity to stay here in one form or another,\u201d he said. \u201cI think it\u2019s gone really great, but I understand how this business is. You don\u2019t ever put the cart ahead of the horse. There\u2019s no chance you can do that as a coach. I\u2019m probably a little more scarred than most coaches because I grew up and watched my dad\u2019s career.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baltimore\u2019s roster had a massive changeover at the trade deadline, when the Orioles dealt right-handers Bryan Baker, Seranthony Dom\u00ednguez, Andrew Kittredge and Charlie Morton; left-hander Gregory Soto; first baseman Ryan O\u2019Hearn; outfielders Ram\u00f3n Laureano and Cedric Mullins; and utilityman Ram\u00f3n Ur\u00edas.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe still have a lot of injuries. We traded away half the team two months ago, played such a difficult schedule. I\u2019m happy \u2014 I don\u2019t think satisfied is the right word in a lot ways,\u201d Mansolino said. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to be satisfied. It still feels like a failure, deep down inside, knowing that the Yankees are going on to play here in the postseason, and we\u2019re not. Knowing that Boston\u2019s going on to play and we\u2019re not. Toronto, a team we beat up last year, they\u2019re going to play and we\u2019re not. So you do feel like a failure in a lot of ways.\u201d<\/p>\n
