general manager Mike Elias is reportedly under investigation for pension fraud.
Bill Madden of the New York Daily News reported Elias is being investigated for allegedly designating pitching instructor Chris Holt as one of four Orioles coaches to be placed on the pension plan despite him not being with the major league club. MLB and the MLB Players Association allow only four coaches from each club to be designated for the pension plan, which gives them medical benefits, life insurance and a licensing check.
The Orioles had eight coaches listed for 2020.
