Overview

  • Multiple outlets confirmed Elias was quietly promoted to president of baseball operations before the 2025 season.
  • The club intends to hire a general manager to report to Elias as part of an expanded baseball-operations structure, according to The Athletic.
  • Baltimore has begun adding personnel, including rehiring Danny Haas last week as a special assistant to the general manager.
  • The Orioles are 68-77 and in last place in the AL East after firing manager Brandon Hyde in May and selling at the trade deadline.
  • Elias previously led a turnaround that produced 101 wins in 2023 and 91 in 2024, context that heightens scrutiny of this year’s collapse.
