"I’ve worked extremely close with him over the last three years, and I think he’s going to be great for the org." Former Orioles infielder Ryan Flaherty weighs in on Jared Banner's addition. masn.me/y3jtb5n0

Statement on Orioles' Jared Banner from Pirates GM Ben Cherington, who was first to hire him as an intern for the Red Sox in 2007: "JB is really curious, has a really strong motor, runs toward the hard jobs, and is willing to be bold. He’s had a hand in personnel and development problem solving all over the globe. He’s had great experiences across three organizations and working alongside some great people. He’ll be an asset for Orioles."

The Orioles today announced that Jared Banner has been named the club’s next general manager. masn.me/m509itut

Jared Banner: “When I first heard Mike’s vision, I knew it was something I wanted to be a part of. The Orioles are a storied franchise with a passionate fanbase, a historic ballpark, and an organization full of talent. I look forward to building upon the foundation laid by Mike and his team to construct a world-class organization and bring championships back to Baltimore.''

Hoping to bring a Nick’s house to Baltimore soon so families can be together while they receive treatment at John’s Hopkins 🩵

President of baseball ops Mike Elias on Jared Banner: “He is a perfect fit to grow, evolve and improve the Orioles’ baseball operations, and I look forward to working with him very closely as we build for 2027 and beyond."

This seems to clarify some of the GM/POBO breakdown, noting that Banner will: “lead the organization’s player development, coaching and performance efforts, while also partnering with Elias on strategy, staffing, and talent acquisition, among other duties”

Happy heavenly birthday, Nick. Your life has left a lasting impression for the last 20 years and I promise to continue to help those whose lives are affected by cancer. If you have the time, please watch how my friend has helped so many families. 💚 @HEADstrongFnd @HofstraPride

Banner, as Ken noted a few weeks ago, seemed to be a top candidate elsewhere, too Being a driving force in acquiring the probable NL MVP doesn’t hurt

Orioles To Hire Jared Banner As General Manager mlbtraderumors.com/2026/10/o…

Pat Murphy says becoming a father completely changed the way he coached, and now every player he views and coaches as somebody else’s son “It’s got to be real, man. You can’t just say it. You’ve got to live it. When it’s about your kid, when you’re raising kids by yourself, you’re clueless, man. You don’t know what you’re doing. I don’t know what I’m doing. I didn’t have that kind of, my parents were way older than me, so I don’t know how to parent. I don’t know what I’m doing, but it’s really important to me.” “And I started thinking about it like, every kid I coach is somebody’s Kai Joseph. You know what I mean? Every kid I coach, they have parents who love their kid the way I love my kid.” “Wow, I’ve got to be a little mindful how I treat these guys. I’ve got to be a little mindful about, like, it’s my job.” “This profession isn’t about the wins and losses. This profession is about, how do I impact this person?
