Executive Vice President and GM is the title.

That's a healthy jump in title.

Not so fast. So any word on Trig, I mine Sig yet?

No clue.  I do know Fast signed with the Braves a couple weeks ago.

They finally got around to just adding "and General Manager" to the end of the thing. Finally calling the position what it is.

Funny how Roch knows this but not that Elias was getting hired or did not say anything. Not even says from a source but stated as fact. A few minutes after the announcement and he knows everything.

With one hire done, the Orioles are expected to bring in former Astros sabermetrics analyst Sig Mejdal as an assistant to Elias. And a managerial search can commence, though Elias shared his preferences with ownership as part of his interviews.

Just in case there was any confusion.....  The title speculation is one of the sillier things we've had on here and that's saying something.

Roch knew.

He just wasn't allowed to tell us.

He probably got details after they confirmed the hiring.  I am sure it is nothing nefarious.

Nefarious not in the least. Just doing his job.

Yep, his job isn't to leak news.

It's to confirm things after they leak it to someone else.

Well, as the more vocal detractors reminded us constantly, as they maligned the length and secrecy of the process, the Orioles don’t do anything....fast.

Geeze, Roch learns stuff in confidence, by not running his mouth, and people dont respect that.

Too much hate here on these boards, crazy.

No Can, that was not directed at you.
