Was the first full day of the Mike Elias packed with enough action for you? The Orioles new shot-caller has almost certainly been busy making changes that we can’t see. The major league team is not in a position to add big salaries or make blockbuster trades. It wouldn’t make any sense.
Instead, Elias is hopefully pulling the strings behind the scenes; calling potential managers and staff members, inquiring about fringe players in other organizations and perhaps tapping into his international contacts to see if there is any way that the Orioles can spend the bonus slots they have available to them.
