O’s hire Showalter
The Baltimore Orioles have finally hired ESPN analyst Buck Showalter to be their next manager.
Showalter will take the helm on Monday, August 2 after about a month and a half of contract negotiations.
Juan Samuel, the team’s interim skipper, will return to the third base box with Gary Allenson heading back to Triple-A.
Showalter has a career winning record and is noted for being able to turn around franchises in a short period of time.
He is very detail oriented and will immediately take control of an organization that lacks direction.
