Tension between Buck Showalter and Dan Duquette in Baltimore, reported earlier this month by Jerry Crasnick of ESPN, has escalated.
Showalter wants a greater role in personnel decisions, but does not wish to actually assume general manager duties himself.
The duo are both under contract through 2018. Showalter earns $3.5 million annually, while Duquette takes home $2 million per year.
