Dan Connolly of The Baltimore Sun says the Orioles will continue without a permanent manager until at least after the July 31st non-waiver Trade Deadline.

Baltimore’s president of baseball operations, Andy MacPhail, said that he does not have a timeline for hiring someone to replace interim manager Juan Samuel. A managerial announcement will not come until at least August, Macphail confirmed, as he concentrates on the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.

The leading managerial candidate, Buck Showalter, is not discouraged by the situation. He has had several talks with MacPhail and he remains interested in the position.

“I’m OK with the process and am respectful of what Juan is doing and with what Andy is trying to do with this organization,” Showalter told The Baltimore Sun today.

Showalter, 54, originally interviewed with the team in late June. Showalter is 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.
