The Baltimore Orioles are making two changes to the coaching staff for next year. Two of which we know, that is. Bench coach Fredi Gonzalez and co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller will not be back, this according to multiple sources.
And that’s all we know. Not the circumstances of why they won’t be back. Just that they won’t be back in 2025.
Fuller isn’t necessarily a surprise, given the Orioles’ hitting woes down the stretch. It stood to reason that at least one of the two hitting coaches would cease to be there. Gonzalez on the other hand is a bit of a surprise, given how close he and manager Brandon Hyde are. Having said that, we obviously don’t know the circumstances. This may be his decision, or it might be mutual. He could have another job offer in hand. I guess we’ll find out.
