The Baltimore Orioles reportedly parted ways with manager Buck Showalter on Wednesday.
Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported that Showalter will not be back with the O's "in any capacity" next season.
USA Today's Bob Nightengale first reported on September 21 that Showalter was expected to be canned following the conclusion of the 2018 season.
For the Orioles, the move was a no-brainer.
Baltimore was a major league-worst 47-115 this season and joined the 1962 New York Mets and 2003 Detroit Tigers as the only teams in the expansion era to win fewer than 50 games.
