The drafting and signing of number one overall 2019 draft pick Adley Rutschman is the opening act of the rebuild of the Baltimore Orioles under General Manager Mike Elias. It may very well be viewed in a few years as a seminal moment in the history of the franchise as well.
Now that he is signed, we know what the immediate future holds. Elias said the Rutschman will go to the Gulf Coast League before eventually reporting to Aberdeen to finish out the season according to Rock Kubatko of masnsports.
