It's already been a busy offseason for the Baltimore Orioles. They have a new manager in Craig Albernaz, finally put an end to the Grayson Rodriguez experiment — shipping him to the Los Angeles Angels for slugging outfielder Taylor Ward — and added to the bullpen with their addition of Ryan Helsley. Of course, the Orioles' top priority, addressing their starting rotation, has yet to be checked off, but that could change at the Winter Meetings.
Mike Elias has talked a big game this winter, and to give him some ounce of credit, he has backed up what he's been saying.
