During the roughest stretches of the Orioles’ rebuild, manager Brandon Hyde has thought about the past. It propels him to the future.

He’s lived a rebuild before, and he’s seen the results. He served in the Chicago Cubs’ front office and on their coaching staff during their teardown. He was their first base coach in 2016, when that effort paid off with the franchise’s first World Series title in more than a century.

“I go back to that experience a lot,” Hyde said in an interview with The Baltimore Sun. “I understand that there’s going to be a lot of tough nights, which we’ve had here the last few years. I’ve also seen what it looks like when it’s good.

“That feeling is kind of what drives you every day.”

According to an industry source, Orioles manager Brandon Hyde is under contract beyond the 2022 season, meaning that with as many as seven of the Orioles’ top 10 prospects positioned to arrive in the majors before the end of next season, Hyde could be the one to manage them.
