I just finished two seasons as GM of the Orioles. We fired Buck Showalter mid-season in 2018 and replaced him with John Russell on an interim basis. Then, Peter Angelos died and his son took over as owner. The son is more understanding about our rebuild although our payroll got sliced. We also hired Joe Girardi as manager for 2019. We wound up going 64-98, one win more than the previous year. And our owner's expectation for 2019 was also "don't suck completely" which is a bit like asking Dylan Bundy to try not to get on the DL.
