Have to love how preemptive Elias has been about shoring up the team.

Good, nice to have him back for bullpen depth. He pitched well. Probably some smoke and mirrors but there were much worse pitchers getting run out there.

And people have actually had the audacity to complain Elias is doing nothing to improve the team, when we get this gem of a signing.

I'm going to curb my enthusiasm until the time when we sign someone who had interest from another team -- not necessarily an offer, just interest. If we sign someone like that, I should say.

Minor league deals are fine.

So BOTH of our 2021 Futures Game stars could be on the team at some point next year.  How exciting!

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not. Haha. He’s a fine depth arm. Not his fault that every SP prospect has crapped the bed at the MLB level.

Hoping for Ellis next.

Here's a tip: look at the name of the poster.

[interloper]

Folks like to joke about these MiL re-signings and I get it, but it's actually pretty good news because it means they were the right decisions re: the 40-man roster. We get to keep depth pieces AND they don't have to clog the roster (yet). 

I think it's likely we'll also re-sign Ellis and Greene, and maybe Ciuffo. I expect a little more competition for these three, but they did go unclaimed. 

[Tony-OH]

If I'm a minor league pitcher on the cusp of the major leagues and a free agent, I'm signing with the Orioles. Unless I use a sinker.. lol

Dear Sportsfan,
