The 2025 Major League Baseball season has started with significant managerial changes, particularly with the removal of Derek Shelton from his position as the Pittsburgh Pirates manager after six seasons. After just 38 games this season, the Pirates’ disappointing performance made Shelton’s dismissal unsurprising. However, the question arises: which managers might face similar fates as the season progresses? Here’s a look at several potential candidates:

Brandon Hyde, Orioles

Despite leading the Orioles to recent playoff appearances, Hyde’s team is currently struggling in 2025, sitting at the bottom of the division. With limited support from the front office, he could be in jeopardy if the team doesn’t improve.

Rocco Baldelli, Twins

Baldelli has had success in the past but is currently overseeing a team that is underperforming, making his future uncertain should the struggles continue.

Bud Black, Rockies

The Rockies are enduring a disastrous season, and Black’s long tenure could come to an end if the team fails to improve significantly.

John Schneider, Blue Jays

After a disappointing 2024 season and starting the current season at below .500, Schneider’s position is precarious unless significant turnaround occurs.

Ron Washington, Angels

The Angels’ poor performance and frequent managerial changes could lead to Washington’s exit unless fortunes shift for the squad.

This list isn’t exhaustive, and managerial job security can be fluid, but these names have considerable cause for concern.
