The Baltimore Orioles have finally announced that Mike Elias will lead the rebuild in Baltimore and become the Orioles’ new Executive Vice President and General Manager. The Orioles will hold a press conference on Monday morning at 11am officially introducing Elias as the head of baseball ops in Baltimore.
For the first time in what feels like forever, the Orioles have made a smart baseball decision by bringing Elias aboard.
Elias spent the last seven years with the Astros, most recently in an assistant GM role. Elias joined an Astros team in 2012 that was coming off three straight 100-loss seasons and helped bring them back from the dead.
