Orioles Promote Mike Elias, Plan GM Hire in Front Office Expansion

The Orioles quietly elevated Elias to president of baseball operations last offseason and now plan to hire a GM under him. Orioles also added ex-Nationals scouting director Danny Haas. Elias built a 101-win team in 2023, but a rotation misfire led to Brandon Hyde’s firing. Rookie Samuel Basallo’s $67M extension remains a rare bright spot.
