Wednesday’s Bird Droppings: Where the Orioles have picked a new GM

Nothing is official. and you shouldn’t believe any rumors until you see an introductory press conference. BUT the talk is that the Orioles are going to name Houston Astros assistant GM Mike Elias as the team’s new general manager sometime soon. Also, Sig Mejdal, a former member of the Astros front office, is expected to be a part of Elias’s staff.

If Mike Elias does indeed land the Orioles GM job as @BNightengale is reporting, it is expected that Sig Mejdal would join Elias in Baltimore. Mejdal, who was a special assistant to GM Jeff Luhnow and was one of Houston's key analysts, left the Astros earlier this month.
