A franchise-record 115 losses were too many for Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter and executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette to keep their jobs.

Showalter and Duquette, whose contracts expire at the end of October, will not return in 2019, the team announced Wednesday night. Showalter took the helm during the 2010 season, while Duquette was hired as general manager after the 2011 campaign.

"The club decided they weren't going to renew my contract at the end of the term, and I think that's probably for the best," Duquette told the Baltimore Sun. "I appreciate the opportunity Peter Angelos gave me."
