Based on the latest update from Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, it appears the Astros’ assistant general manager, Mike Elias, will soon be announced as the new Orioles’ general manager, where he will head up baseball operations in Baltimore. Feinsand also reports Sig Mejdal, a front office executive who recently left the Astros, is expected to join Baltimore’s front office with Elias.
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.
