The Orioles’ hot stove continues to be on a slow boil. Right now, Mike Elias and his staff are focusing on finding a new manager, so we probably won’t see any significant roster moves at least until the coaching situation is squared away.
Not all major league teams are being so quiet, though. Over on the other coast, the Seattle Mariners, who have the longest playoff drought in professional sports (17 years), are in full teardown mode. Last night they officially traded away their most high-profile player, Robinson Cano, and All-Star closer Edwin Diaz to the Mets, then followed that up by dealing quality shortstop Jean Segura and two others to the Phillies.
