Albernaz back for 2027 per Elias... Mancini to retire 

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/49982125/orioles-activate-ex-closer-felix-bautista-trey-mancini-retires

 

Mike Elias, Baltimore's president of baseball operations, said Saturday that Albernaz would return in 2027. The Orioles are 75-79 in Albernaz's first season and began the day three games out of an American League wild-card spot.

"It's a great vote of confidence," Albernaz said. "Obviously, this season hasn't gone the way I wanted it by any stretch, by how the players wanted the season to go, how the front office, how the fanbase. ... That's something I wear pretty heavily because of the seat I'm in and I don't take that lightly."

In addition, Trey Mancini signed a one-day contract to retire with the Orioles, the franchise he played for during the bulk of his eight-year career in the majors.

And yet Elias and Albernaz are both back next year.

Albernaz being back I get--I looked up what other rookie managers were fired after Year 1 and couldn't find much! It is just not something MLB teams do very often (if at all). All managers like that historically get a second year. I think he's out if we miss the playoffs again next year.

But Elias? Bruh...we finally got new ownership that spends more and let's the GM be the GM...but now Rubenstein is getting fooled by this dude, smh Two consecutive last place finishes under two different managers and he gets to keep his job? Dude has nine lives. If it happens again next season...what's gonna be the excuse? Shouldn't be any...but who knows? Smh

Why do people believe the lockout is gonna take up the entire season? Not sure either side is gonna want that...we could still lose some games, though.

Do some research. So much info from many outlets on this. Let AI help you. It isnt difficult to see why there could be a prolonged lockout/cancellation of a significant part of the season given the division over a hard cap ceiling/floor and revenue sharing between owners and players. Always about money, and both sides are dug in.

You don't even realize when you condescend/talk down to people, man..smh You gonna sit here and tell me what I have and haven't read? Like...why? Just because I don't think it costs an ENTIRE season doesn't mean I haven't read and am not aware of what it is about. He said "they won't play next season" like it won't be any season at all. I think we are going to play some.

I know how dug in both sides are and what the division is about. But an entire season is hard to fathom. Longest stoppage lasted 2 months in 1994/95. But MLB is gonna have to give in eventually...the players will not budge on a cap. How long that takes is debatable but not a sure they won't play at all.
