On Friday afternoon, the Orioles finally made official what had been reported since late Tuesday night. They’ve found their next head of baseball operations, announcing the hire of Mike Elias, most recently an Astros assistant GM, to be the next Executive Vice President and General Manager.
The team will...
The Orioles, amid a rebuild, have spent their time studying organizations that have built sustainability, used advanced analytics and grown a contender from within.

The Mike Elias era has begun. Elias was named as the Orioles Executive Vice President and General Manager on Friday, and will be introduced at a Monday press conference at Oriole Park.

In a statement, the Orioles said: “Elias will oversee all baseball operations for the club and have full autonomy to build his staff and make decisions on all...
It will be years before we know if Elias was a good hire. But there is a lot to like about it right now.
Orioles fans haven’t received much good news lately. The Birds just completed the worst season in franchise history. Their popular manager was let go. The Winter Meetings start in three weeks and they don’t officially have a front office. Players we spent years rooting for are gone. (Anybody else’s bobblehead collection ruined?) There has been little joy in Birdland.
But the...
Ex-Oriole Rich Dauer is one of many people praising the Birds’ presumptive new GM. Meanwhile, Dauer and his fellow 1983 Orioles are wondering when the O’s will win another championship already.
Good morning, Camden Chatters.
It’s now been two full days since reports first broke of the Orioles hiring Mike Elias as their new GM, and still the O’s haven’t made the news official.

One of the biggest questions he will face once he starts the...
The obstacles facing Mike Elias, the soon-to-be named head of the Orioles baseball operations department are enormous. The opportunity is just as great. Elias’ reported hiring after a six-week search has drawn positive comments from fans who don’t know much about the 35-year-old but like that he’s both experienced in analytics and was responsible for drafts that procured some of the major leagues best players for the Houston Astros. Next June, Elias will have the chance to pick the...
The Orioles have settled on their pick for a new GM and unless things get weird they will make that official soon, perhaps even today. Also, it’s Dylan Bunday’s birthday.
Hello, friends.
There are now 133 days remaining until the next Orioles game. This could prove to be quite a momentous day for the future of the franchise if they make official their rumored choice of Astros assistant general manager Mike Elias to take over the reins of baseball operations.

The Orioles have reportedly found Dan Duquette's successor
The Orioles have found their new GM in Mike Elias of the Astros. That leaves the Astros without yet another key figure in their recent success.
The Orioles, amid a rebuild, have spent their time studying organizations that have built sustainability, used advanced analytics and grown a contender from within.

The Orioles have taken longer than some may have expected to name a GM/President of Baseball Operations. Still, the only thing that matters is making the right choice.
UPDATE: Bob Nightengale has reported, “barring a sudden change of heart” that Mike Elias will be named the new general manager of the Orioles. Elias currently serves as the assistant GM for the Houston Astros.
If the Orioles take too long to name a manager, I’ll be sure to write a post urging everyone to be patient....

Six weeks after the Orioles dismissed Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations Dan Duquette, reports indicate that the team could be naming Houston Astros assistant General Manager Mike Elias as his successor. Elias, who succeeded David Stearns as Astros GM Jeff Luhnow’s chief assistant three years ago when Stearns went to Milwaukee as the Brewers GM, has emerged as the favorite, according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale. MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand tweeted that Sig Mejdal, a former...

Also, Sig Mejdal, a former member of the Astros front office, is expected to be a part of...
On the same afternoon that the Orioles activated Richard Bleier from the 60-day disabled list, the reliever was picking up a baseball at Cressey Sports Performance in Jupiter, Fla. and making his first throw since undergoing surgery to repair a Grade 3 tear in his left latissimus dorsi muscle. Bleier ... Read More
