As January rolls along, general manager Mike Elias is sticking to his words from the Winter Meetings, when he said the primary focus of this offseason for the Baltimore Orioles would be establishing a front office and staff and evaluating the current talent on hand. As far as player acquisitions are concerned, the Orioles continue to bring in players with major league experience who provide diserable attributes to a roster, on minor league deals.
More recently, Carlos Perez was brought in on a minor league deal, bringing with him a highly regarded defensive skill set and major league experience behind the plate.
