Want to share Mike Elias' full quote from Aug. 3, day after the deadline, that included "It's liftoff from here."

He said that day and later the Orioles would sign players and increase payroll. But "liftoff" got tied in when it was never a descriptor of the level they'd do that. pic.twitter.com/h926XVPT9v
