An Oriole official (Highly Ranked) expressed this thought as well. 

You'd hope the next guy would at least be able to say "never heard of him" instead of trying to fake his way through an ambush like that.  Hard to believe it was more than 15 years ago.

No way... did this actually happen?  Baba Booey?

It supposedly happened December, 2000

Quote

In December, Thrift appeared on a Baltimore radio show to take
calls from fans. One of them asked him about an Orioles prospect
named Gary Dell'Abate. "I've heard that name, yes," Thrift said
on the air. Well, the caller said, Gary Dell'Abate is the name of
Howard Stern's producer.

Any leaks somewhere else? 

Where did you hear Roch’s comment that he heard rumblings that the Angelos boys have settled on a hire for the President/GM position?  I haven’t seen that anywhere.  Was this in a Tweet, or live on 105.7 or some other broadcast medium?

Comments in his latest blog, posted 5 hours ago and counting.  Maybe Rosenthal isn't returning his call.

Hearing some rumblings that O's have made a decision on top hire. Just trying to get confirmed and, yeah, a name.

I have thought for awhile try would make a decision sometime this week with rule 5 roster a week away I would think you want to get someone in there around that time to start preparing for it.  Bring the president in then go not long after so the roster is decided by Monday.

 I see no one else reporting or tweeting it outside of the Baltimore media - which is strange.

The Baltimore Sun had this article (which implies the same thing):

The Orioles could announce next executive soon. Here's what we know about the candidates.

      Monday, May 20: Orioles at Cardinals

      Giveaway Contest: Orioles baseball cards past, present and future. Deadline to enter is Sun May 26 11:59pm EST

      By scarey1999 · Posted

      **DISCLAIMER** - To get this out of the way up front, while I did clear this idea with Tony in advance, this contest is in no way affiliated or associated with the Orioles Hangout. This is 100% through me and I am putting this on for fellow OH’ers at my sole discretion.  Brief background: Obviously, I’m a huge Orioles fan…otherwise I wouldn’t be on here 🤣. I’ve been a OH’er for a while (20+ years) but am an infrequent flyer, posting wise. Some of you will know I’m most active on the minor league and draft/intl signings boards. I’ve always been very interested in the draft and prospect development aspects of baseball.  Many years ago on here, a poster named Chris (don’t recall his handle) did a giveaway of official Oriole photos that were autographed. I thought that was awesome - and I happened to win that giveaway. That, along with the Orioles resurgence, has inspired me to give back to the awesome community we have here at OH! The discussion and knowledge found here cannot be found anywhere else in the world. As big of an Orioles fan as I am, I’m arguably an even bigger sportscard and memorabilia collector. So, I’ll be giving away a select lot of Orioles baseball cards (still working on deciding exactly which ones) that include a 2023 Topps flagship Gunnar rookie graded SGC 10, 1 each of Adley, GH, GRod and Holliday “1st Bowman”, at least one of each Cal, Earl and Brooks. There will also be some cards of recent draftees and international signings. I will probably toss in an autograph card or two. Maybe a few others, just depends on what all I can fit inside the package. The winner can keep these for themselves, or pass along to their kiddos (or grandkids). There is ZERO cost or obligation to enter. I’m even covering shipping! OK, enough of all of that. Here’s how it works. It’s pretty simple but here’s the process: 1) To enter simply comment “Orioles Magic” on this post. You have until Sun, May 26 at 11:59 pm EST to get your entry in and are obviously only allowed one entry per person. Only those who live in the contiguous 48 states on the mainland and APO/FPO addresses are eligible to enter. Apologies to those who live elsewhere. 2) I’ll accumulate the entries and run them all through random dot org. I’ll shuffle the list 8 times (Cal’s number). The one left at the top of the list after spin 8 is the winner. I’ll run the randomizer at some point on Memorial Day and post the results here. I’ll tag the winner and also PM them to get the shipping details. Simple as that! Best of luck to you all and most importantly - GO ORIOLES!!!

      I agree.  I don't understand letting him rot on the bench.  I'm sure he is frustrated,  too.
