Orioles Hire Cubs AGM Jared Banner As GM To Work Alongside President Mike Elias

The Baltimore Orioles have made a high-profile move to revamp their front office, announcing the hiring of Jared Banner as general manager. Banner, who previously served as the assistant general manager for the Chicago Cubs since 2024, brings a wealth of experience from roles including vice president of special projects and vice president of player development.

His arrival follows a period of decline for the Orioles, who went from winning 192 games across two seasons (2023-24) to just 75 wins in 2025 and 79 this year, raising expectations for a turnaround under his leadership alongside team president Mike Elias. Banner, a Brooklyn native, has a strong background in baseball operations, having spent 11 years with the Boston Red Sox in various capacities before joining the Cubs in 2020.

Elias praised Banner’s track record, calling him a rising talent in the league with a proven ability to manage multiple departments effectively.
