Orioles to name Cubs bench coach Brandon Hyde next manager
The Baltimore Orioles will name Chicago Cubs bench coach Brandon Hyde their next manager, ESPN has confirmed.
Hyde, 45, replaces Buck Showalter, 62, who was let go after the Orioles finished a franchise-worst 47-115.
Hyde previously had served as the Cubs' director of player development and also was their first-base coach, before becoming manager Joe Maddon's bench coach last season. His responsibilities under Maddon included running spring training over the past several years.
Hyde also served as the Cubs' bench coach in 2014 when Rick Renteria was manager.
Hyde interviewed for managerial openings this winter in Texas, Minnesota, Anaheim and Toronto before landing the Orioles job.
