In what&rsquo;s becoming one of the most predictable traditions in baseball, another season gutted by an owner&rsquo;s refusal to spend ends with the firing of the manager expected to clean up the mess.<\/p><p>On the heels of a disastrous 15-29 start to the season, the Orioles fired their manager on Friday, ending a seven-year tenure that included one division title, two postseason appearances, and a 2023 AL Manager of the Year award. The move follows a steady unraveling of what once looked like the league&rsquo;s most promising young team.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Orioles have been the most disappointing team in baseball this season. They are 15-28, the fourth-worst record in MLB. They have an ERA of 5.33, the worst in the AL. Their offseason acquisitions have flopped.
