The Baltimore Orioles are sticking with youth in their managerial spot, hiring Cleveland assistant Craig Albernaz for that role.
Albernaz, who turns 43 on Thursday, was previously an associate manager with the Guardians. He was promoted to that role after serving as bench coach in 2024.
Albernaz takes over a Baltimore team that still has plenty of potential despite sliding to 75 wins this year and a last-place finish in the AL East. The Orioles fired manager Brandon Hyde in May, and Tony Mansolino ran the team on an interim basis the rest of the way.
It still feels like something of a fever dream that Max Scherzer will start Game 3 of the World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays.
The guy with the legendary intensity and the impressive playoff resume and the three Cy Young Awards and the different colored eyes? That Max Scherzer?
Of course, part of the reason it's hard to believe is that Scherzer was a peripheral figure for much of his lone season in Toronto. He was pulled from his first start in March with a thumb issue and didn't return until late June. The 41-year-old worked his way into something approaching his old All-Star form over the next couple of months, but then he seemed to run out of gas. He struggled all September and was left off Toronto's roster for the American League Division Series against the New York Yankees.

"The organization is committed to maintaining the highest standards of conduct and accountability," the Capitals said in announcing Love was relieved of his duties effective immediately. He had not been around the team dating to development camp in July.

Shohei Ohtani commended Toronto Blue Jays fans for their creative trash talk in Game 1 of the World Series - and the Los Angeles Dodgers phenom wasn't the only one who enjoyed it.
"It was a really great chant, and my wife really appreciated it," the Japanese superstar said Sunday via interpreter Will Ireton.
With Toronto leading 11-4 in the ninth inning of Friday's World Series opener, a sold out crowd at the Rogers Center suddenly broke out into "We don't need you" chant as Ohtani stepped to the plate. The taunts were in reference to the dramatic December 2023 saga of Ohtani's free agency, when many around baseball erroneously believed he was on a plane bound for Toronto before he signed a record-breaking 10-year, $700-million deal with the Dodgers.
A flight delay caused Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts to arrive late for the team's workout Sunday ahead of World Series Game 3.
