Orioles director of player development Brian Graham won't be back for 2019 after serving as the team's interim general manager to bridge between Dan Duquette new executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias, according to an industry source.
Graham, who just completed his 11th season in the Orioles organization and sixth as farm director, saw a familiar pattern take hold at the end of his time. Before Graham came to the Orioles, he spent six years as the player development director for the Pittsburgh Pirates but was let go after serving as interim general manager after a transitional period to their new general manager at the time, Neil Huntington.
