Duennes had a meeting with club ownership Friday and was informed of the decision — with it becoming official Tuesday.
“We greatly appreciate Doug’s efforts on behalf of the club over the past two-plus seasons and we wish him best in his future endeavors,” said Greg Bader, the Orioles’ vice president of communications in a prepared statement.
The statement gave no specific reason for the decision.

My take: I don’t get it. Everything at the Yards seemed to be improved over the past few years.
