Good morning, Birdland!
While other GMs are busy watching playoff baseball, Mike Elias is stalking the waiver wire for organizational depth. It seems the Orioles boss is simply built different. Or he is at least very aware that the team needed to improve their catching depth.
The Orioles added two catchers to their 40-man set-up, claiming Aramis Garcia and Mark Kolozsvary from the Reds on Friday. To make room, the team designated pitchers Beau Sulser and Louis Head for assignment.
Garcia turns 30 in January. He has played parts of four seasons in the big leagues for three different clubs, including 47 games for the 2022 Reds.
