Orioles general manager Mike Elias broke his silence about his decision to fire manager Brandon Hyde, saying Tuesday he's doing an across-the-board evaluation to determine what has caused Baltimore's remarkably rapid decline.

On Saturday, the Baltimore Orioles announced the firing of manager Brandon Hyde. After making the playoffs in two consecutive seasons, the Orioles were off to a 15-28 start and felt like they needed a new voice in the clubhouse to help turn things around.

The Orioles, who won a combined 192 games from 2023-24, entered Tuesday last in the American League East with the fourth-worst record (15-31) in the majors.
