6/20 02:05: Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe says that if the Orioles want a manager who bring in an entire system, top to botom, then Showalter is their man.

6/17 12:42: Jeff Zrebiac of The Baltimore Sun says Buck Showalter will meet with the president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail and other team officials next week. Showalter will be the third candidate to interview for the vacant Orioles position since the team fired Dave Trembley earlier this month.

The Orioles have already interviewed former MLB managers Bobby Valentine and Eric Wedge.

Showalter, 54, a two-time AL Manager of the Year, compiled a 882-833 record with the New York Yankees, Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers. He has not managed since 2006 with the Rangers.
