Elias: 'Very Good Players' In Orioles System, Focus On June Draft

Baltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias says it's been "invigorating" to get up to speed on the players, staff members and all the ins and outs of how his new team works.

Elias, who joined the team from the Houston Astros in November, said that despite losing stars like Manny Machado and Kevin Gausman to trades and Adam Jones to free agency, he has plenty to work with.

"Part of the attraction of our situation is that we have very good players in the system," Elias told Brett Hollander on Thursday.

He said he sees the Orioles as being "shrewd" on the free agent market.
