Former Orioles shortstop and current MASN analyst Mike Bordick told Glenn Clark Radio June 25 that he'd be interested in managing someday but doesn't feel like he'd be qualified for a potential opening with the Orioles.
FanRag Sports MLB reporter Jon Heyman included Bordick in a list of rumored candidates to become the next Orioles manager in his column June 21. Bordick said he'd need more time coaching on the field before he'd feel ready to manage a major league team.
"I think every player would like to manage," Bordick said. "But I don't really feel like now is the time for me to even be brought up. I haven't really done a lot, as far as baseball ops stuff goes. Maybe one day, but I don't know that I would ever think of doing it honestly, without being on the field for an extended period of time. I think I'd just be doing the game a disservice, especially the guys that have put so much time in through the minor leagues that actually deserve opportunities to manage at the major league level."
