ESPN CONFIRMED: Baltimore Orioles Coach Craig Albernaz Steps Down Following Significant Internal Error
Baltimore, MD — In a stunning and unexpected development, the Baltimore Orioles organization announced just moments ago that coach Craig Albernaz has stepped down from his role, following what team officials described as a significant internal error that conflicted with the club’s standards and operational protocols.
The Orioles confirmed the decision in a brief but direct statement released early today, emphasizing that the move was made after internal discussions between Albernaz and senior leadership. While the organization stopped short of detailing the full scope of the error, sources close to the situation indicate it stemmed from a critical breakdown in judgment during a recent team-related matter, prompting swift action from the front office.
“Accountability remains a cornerstone of this organization,” the statement read. “After reviewing the circumstances, both parties agreed that stepping away was the appropriate course of action at this time.”
Albernaz, who had been widely respected for his work with players and his influence in the clubhouse, also released a personal statement acknowledging the situation. “I take full responsibility for the mistake,” he said. “I care deeply about this organization and believe this decision is in the best interest of the team moving forward.”
The sudden departure comes at a sensitive time for the Orioles, who are navigating a competitive phase of the season and focusing on long-term development and consistency. Team officials stressed that the issue does not involve any criminal allegations, but rather an internal matter that could not be overlooked.
An interim coaching adjustment is expected to be announced shortly, with players already informed of the change earlier today. Several veterans reportedly addressed the team, urging focus and unity as the Orioles prepare for upcoming games.
As more details emerge, the Orioles organization has asked for privacy for all parties involved while reaffirming its commitment to professionalism, transparency, and winning culture.
