It all sounds so nice.
New general manager Mike Elias and the Orioles have just entered the honeymoon period of his new career in charge of the franchise’s baseball operation.
He’s got big ideas. They’ve got nowhere to go but up. It’s definitely the start of a new era for a team that lost its mojo over the past couple of seasons and Elias appears to be the right guy to modernize the front office and oversee a multi-year rebuilding program that will not be without some serious growing pains.
Managing partners John and Louis Angelos did their homework and brought in a guy who was a big part of a similar rebuilding effort in Houston that carried the Astros from the ashes of three straight 100-loss seasons to the world championship in 2017.
