Podcast appearances and mentions of Mike Elias

Orioles president of baseball operations Mike Elias joins Darragh McDonald to discuss what went wrong for the team in 2025, why they haven't signed free agent pitchers to big contracts, the difficulty for players to make the jump from AAA to the majors, the plan moving forward with catchers Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo both on the roster, how the O's ended up acquiring six players from the Padres' 2024 draft class, weighing future value when making trade deadline deals, and what led the team to target Ryan O'Hearn back when he was struggling with the Royals. Then Steve Adams joins to discuss Chaim Bloom's transition to lead the Cardinals' baseball operations department and the reports that the team is headed toward a multiyear rebuild, the Rangers parting ways with Bruce Bochy and seemingly set to have a much lower payroll next year, what the fallout will be for the Mets after they missed the playoffs, the Nationals deciding to hire Paul Toboni as president of baseball operations, and why the Rockies passed on claiming Alek Manoah off waivers.

(De que me están hablando franklin) No sé cual será el interés de algunos en que los Orioles no paguen en la agencia libre esos dos brazos que estamos reclamando desde antes de que termine la temporada, porque en años anteriores hemos confiado en el supuesto buen hacer de Mike Elias y de Seg Mejdal.
