The Orioles have a new first base coach, the latest move to build a staff under first-time manager Craig Albernaz.
A source has confirmed the hiring of Jason Bourgeois, who spent the past two seasons as first base and outfield coach with the White Sox. He wasn’t returning in 2026, which created an opportunity in Baltimore.
Bourgeois, 43, is replacing Anthony Sanders, who took a job as Tigers first base coach. Sanders also worked with the outfielders, a responsibility that now falls to Bourgeois.
This is the second hire for the Orioles after hitting coach Dustin Lind, who served as an assistant hitting coach with the Phillies.
Bourgeois had an eight-year major league career as a player, beginning with the White Sox in 2008. He also played for the Brewers in 2009, Astros in 2010-11, Royals in 2012, Rays in 2013 and Reds in 2014-15. He batted .253/.300/.326 in 317 games.
