THEY FINALLY DID IT! The Orioles have locked up a member of their young core, and it's an unlikely candidate indeed.

Jake and RDT are live to react to the first major extension of the Mike Elias era, how they feel about it going to the youngest member of a young core that now has some players in their mid-20's, what this means for Adley Rutschman's future, and much more. Thanks as always for listening, and we'll be back at you very soon.

The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss Orioles last place summer realities as Bradish return looms first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

Mike Elias hasta el momento tiene más pinta de fraude que de super ejecutivo, que fue la imagen que traía de Houston. Ya está bien de prospectos, de picks para el draft, porque al final mucho prospecto y terminamos jugando con peloteros desechados de ligas menores y eso no es serio. Ya se acabó la guachafita. La afición no va a soportar un año más de esta mamadera de gallo. Tome nota Rubenstein o es que ¿usted quiere seguir malbaratando esa boloña de real?

Ed and Rob took some time from Tuesday's BBMS to discuss the future of the O's young core? Mike Elias said it's time guys like Gunnar, Adley, and Westburg take leadership roles. Is the time now?

Ed and Rob took some time from Monday's BBMS to share their reactions to the not-so-great news about Grayson Rodriguez. Mike Elias said last Friday that surgery is very much on the table for G-Rod, so does that mean 2026 is out of the question as well?

Ed and Rob took some time from Monday's BBMS to talk Birds with Mike Bordick. Mike Elias told the fanbase on Friday that he's sorry for the way things turned out for the 2025 Orioles, but did he really owe anyone an apology?

Ed and Rob took some time from Monday's BBMS to hear Mike Elias' apology to the fanbase for the way the Orioles season fell apart. It's nice he's taking responsibility but did he really have to?

Dicen que Mike Elias es un gran scout, que sabe escoger muy buenos prospectos, pero luego no sabe qué hacer con ellos. Y en parte se ha visto eso este año. Teníamos los prospectos. De hecho, después de la desbandada que tuvimos en esta temporada de cambios, aún nuestro Line up estaba lleno de esas caras que se suponen que son nuestra base, nuestro cimiento con miras a los años que vienen. De hecho teníamos prácticamente 8 fijos y solo nos sorprendió la aparición en el Line up del novato Jeremiah Jackson como designado y que ademas dio su primer hit el viernes ante los Cachorros en la derrota 1-0 que demostró que Trevor Rogers sí que puede ser el que nos vendió Elias cuando hizo el cambio por Stowers y Norby por este zurdo que está demostrando que sí tiene calidad. De hecho es el primer juego completo que lanzan los Orioles en 2025.

No one should be shocked by the deadline deals of Mike Elias but fans of the Baltimore Orioles are certainly within reason wondering what the grand plan looks like to compete in 2026.

The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss Orioles and Mike Elias selloff of nine MLB players at trade deadline first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

Mike Elias restocked the farm system yesterday, but it will all mean nothing if he can't follow it up with spending this winter. Do you still believe David Rubenstein has granted him an open checkbook?

Como en el principio de Peter, creemos que Mike Elias ha alcanzado su nivel de incompetencia y por esa razón es necesario que se vaya, a sacar del hoyo a otro equipo y cuando lo tenga más o menos reflotado, que se vaya a buscar otro y así como en el ciclo de la vida. Necesitamos en su momento a un tipo como Mike Elias y estuvimos con él, le acompañamos en la travesía por el desierto. Pero ahora necesitamos a un Dombrowski que sepa administrar un equipo con presupuesto grande, que invierta en la agencia libre, que quiera armar un equipo para ganar la serie mundial, porque recordemos que Rubenstein no tiene mucho tiempo para esperar a ganar una serie mundial.

Comprobamos día sí, día también que nuestros queridos Orioles sin picheo no van a ningún lado y para colmo vamos a ser vendedores y seguiremos acumulando prospectos como en el último draft: 2 catchers, un infielder un outfielder y los pitchers?

And we heard from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who could be the MVP, go out and be his best self and then after the game talked about how nervous he was. Nikola Jokic on the other hand was honest about his thoughts about this current Nuggets team. (16:30) The Florida Panthers smoked the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 7. Woof.
