Former Braves manager joins the Orioles staff

Yesterday, the Orioles announced that former Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez will serve as their bench coach for the upcoming season.

From 2011-2016, Gonzalez was the manager of the Braves after spending four seasons managing the Marlins. He led Atlanta to two playoff appearances and one division title, which came in 2013. However, the Braves couldn’t make it out of the Divisional Round, as they fell to the Dodgers in four games. The following season, the Braves failed to finish above .500, which eventually led to them blowing things up and the end of Gonzalez’s tenure in Atlanta.

Gonzalez has been with the Orioles since 2020 but will be the first bench coach under manager Brandon Hyde.
