Prepare your champagne flutes (or a six-pack): on November 16th, it’ll be time to clink to the two-year anniversary of Mike Elias joining the Baltimore Orioles as general manager and executive VP. Entering the last two weeks of the Orioles 2020 season, it’s raining prospects, and it looks pretty good for now, especially for fans who expected 2020 to be a lost season with few new faces.
It’s been a tumultuous couple of years for this team since Elias came aboard—and that’s just on the field. In the winter of 2018, the Orioles were coming off of a disastrous 47-115 season.
