In the offseason the team made several changes. Brandon Hyde was named the new manager. He was most recently the Chicago Cubs bench coach in 2018. They also named Elias Begins as the new general manager. The 35-year-old was the Houston Astros assistant GM before joining the team here in Baltimore.

Missing from the Orioles this season will be Manny Machado, Zach Britton, Jonathan Schoop, Kevin Gausman, Darren O'Day and Brad Brach. They were traded for 5 minor league prospects and International signing bonus slot money.

Hopes are that the new bosses and team members will be able to move Baltimore up in the rankings.
