In what will almost certainly be a multi-year rebuilding project for the Baltimore Orioles, new manager Brandon Hyde will be a steadying presence in the clubhouse, according to Forbes' Phil Rogers, a longtime Chicago-based sportswriter.
"He is a very consistent, very steady guy. He'll be the same one day as the next," Rogers said on The Bat Around with Stan "The Fan" Charles Dec. 15. "If you look at his background, he's very similar to the guy he's worked for the last four years in Joe Maddon, although as far as his presence in the Cubs organization, he's more of a Theo Epstein guy than a Maddon guy. Theo brought him there, and he worked in a lot of different roles for the Cubs."
Hyde, 45, served as director of player development, first base coach and bench coach for the Chicago Cubs from 2013-2018 after spending three seasons in the Marlins' organization. He served as the Miami Marlins' interim manager for one game in 2011.
