Bobby Valentine Withdraws From Consideration For Orioles Manager Position

Bobby Valentine, previously under consideration to take over the Baltimore Orioles, has pulled himself out of the race, says ESPN:

“I am honored and flattered that the Orioles reached out with this potential opportunity, but at this time in my career, I feel I should direct my energies in another direction,” Valentine said.

The expectation is that Valentine will turn his sights to the vacant Marlins position, as he and Jeffrey Loria have been friends for quite some time. The most recognizable names still on the table for Baltimore right now remain Buck Showalter and Eric Wedge.
