Facing
another early postseason exit, the Baltimore Orioles have decided to make
significant changes to their coaching staff. In a move signaling a new direction for the team, the Orioles have dismissed bench coach Fredi Gonzalez, co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, and coach Jose Hernandez. This decision follows a season that saw the team falter again when it mattered most, marking the second consecutive year the Orioles were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
