Next Orioles Manager Odds: Who Replaces Brandon Hyde In Baltimore?

Fact Checked by Thomas Leary

After starting the season with a win total over/under of 86.5, it’s safe to say that the 2025 MLB season has fallen well short of expectations in the Charm City at Maryland sportsbooks, with the Baltimore Orioles wallowing through a miserable, 13-23 (.361) start.  

That total puts the O’s 7.5 games back of the New York Yankees in the AL East and well out of the closest Wild Card spot. That got the team at BetMaryland.com thinking about who could be next in line to manage the squad should Orioles owner David Rubenstein opt to make a change and fire Brandon Hyde, who has gone 419-488 (.462) since taking over in 2019.

Who Replaces Brandon Hyde if O’s Make Managerial Change?

Chirinos, Gonzalez Early Front-Runners

While there’s no guarantee that Rubenstein (or O’s GM Mike Elias) will opt to blow things up and boot Hyde midseason, there are plenty of good candidates out there if Baltimore chooses to go with a new skipper in 2025. That’s because the club has in-house and outside options to consider, including first-year bench coach and veteran of 714 games behind the plate, Robinson Chirinos, as well as his predecessor (Fredi Gonzalez) to choose from as the in-house options.  

There’s also a chance that Baltimore goes a bit off script and picks a candidate from the club’s MiLB system, which would open the door for former Bowie Baysox (AA) and Norfolk Tides (AAA) manager and current major league coach Buck Britton, who led the former to two consecutive Eastern League Championship series in 2019 and 2021 before guiding the Tides to the Triple-A National Championship and winning the International League Manager of the Year Award in 2023.  

Of the O’s in-house candidates, Chirinos has the best odds of succeeding Hyde should Baltimore fire him midseason, at +270, while Gonzalez (+550) and Britton (+1900) are longer shots to take over in the Charm City.  

Banister, Servais, Maddon Dark Horses To Replace Hyde

Another candidate that Rubenstein and company could consider is former Texas Rangers manager and current Arizona Diamondbacks bench coach Jeff Banister, who won the 2015 AL Manager of the Year award while going 325-313 (.509) with Texas from 2015 to 2018. Throw in household names like Joe Madden, who led the Chicago Cubs to the club’s first title since 1908 in 2016, and former Seattle Mariners skipper Scott Servais and you have a pretty good snippet of the names that Baltimore could consider in 2025 to potentially replace Hyde on the bench.  

There’s also a chance that Baltimore opts to go with a first-time manager, which could potentially open the door for a longtime bench coach like Danny Lehmann of the Los Angeles Dodgers or Kai Correa of the Cleveland Guardians, though our hunch is that the O’s will go with an experienced manager this go-round.
