The Orioles won’t keep two hitting coaches, are hiring a new manager for 2026, and are making standard staff changes.

The Baltimore Orioles will not retain assistant hitting coaches Sherman Johnson and Tommy Joseph for the 2026 season, with Johnson joining the Chicago White Sox as a minor league hitting coordinator and Joseph leaving after one year. First base coach Anthony Sanders is permitted to explore other opportunities. Craig Albernaz will become the team’s new manager in 2026, following the mid-season firing of Brandon Hyde, with Tony Mansolino serving as interim manager. These changes are standard when a new manager takes over.
