The Orioles’ offseason has been very quiet regarding player signings or trades, but they’ve made two important changes in their managing department. Brandon Hyde was named as their new skipper after Buck Showalter’s tenure in Baltimore came to an end, and Mike Elias was named General Manager to take over their rebuild process of the coming years.
Alcides Escobar was signed to a minor league deal and will probably make the team out of Spring Training to bring some veteran presence to a team that’s just starting the rebuild and doesn’t have much excitement, both at the majors nor at the minors.
