Buck Showalter fired as Orioles manager
A franchise-record 115 losses were apparently too many for Buck Showalter to keep his job.
The 62-year-old manager will not return to the Baltimore Orioles in 2019 after nine seasons leading the team, according to multiple reports. None were worse than 2018, as Baltimore went 47-115 and became just the fifth major league team since 1900 to lose 115 games or more in a season.
Showalter said Sunday that he was OK with whatever owner Peter Angelos decided to do.
"Mr. Angelos' family has been great to me and mine," Showalter said. "So whatever direction they decide to go, I'm at peace with it."
The Athletic first reported Showalter's dismissal.
