Birdland, our leadership is finally in place. Mike Elias and Brandon Hyde are both officially on board to lead the Orioles into this new era of, hopefully, winning baseball. Both hires have been universally applauded by the industry (something O’s fans aren’t exactly used to). We’ve even been given the sense that the front office and field staff will actually work well together! I’m as excited right now as a person can possibly be after a 115-loss season.
While it seems like the Orioles got the right men in place, the process took a long time.
