The former Orioles manager moves into Tampa Bay's front office after MLB teams completed this year's managerial hires.
Overview
- Tampa Bay announced the hire Monday, adding Hyde as a senior advisor to its baseball operations department.
- Prior reporting indicated the role is expected to include work with the big-league club and the Rays’ minor-league affiliates.
- Hyde managed Baltimore from 2019 until May 2025, posting a 421–491 record, guiding three straight winning seasons from 2022–24, and earning 2023 AL Manager of the Year.
