Elias & Mejdal - Time for job title promotions?

[Snutchy]

Now assistant GM Scott Powers has been fired. I’d stay as far away as possible.

Does it crack the door a bit for a shot at Verlander...?

I don't see why it would change anything.

Probably not, given that Verlander said that it was Owner Jim Crane who called him to finalize the details of his pervious deal:

 Justin Verlander, though Verlander himself has spoken on record about how it was a call directly from Crane that wrapped up that agreement.

I don’t think so. MLB Trade Rumors quoted Verlander saying that Crane called him and wrapped up the deal.

Not a good time to be without a GM, that’s for sure.   They’ll have to move quickly to hire a replacement.  Maybe Crane already has someone waiting in the wings.

Dan Connolly of the Athletic is postulating that our very own Sig Mejdal might be a Jim Crane favorite.

"Orioles assistant general manager Sig Mejdal seems likely to be on Crane’s short list of candidates."

I would love to see the O's promote Eve Rosenbaum if Sig leaves. She's the bomb!

She already was promoted this year.  She’s Asst. GM, along with Sig.

My understanding is that she runs Baseball Operations, while Sig is Vice President and Assistant GM. My suspicion is that his position carries more authority, prestige and compensation than hers. But I could be wrong.

You are right that Sig has “VP” in his title and Eve does not.  I don’t know if his job has more authority, as his responsibilities are very different.  He probably does have a higher salary, given the VP title.  Eve was just promoted to AGM in June, so it would be pretty quick to be promoted again, but it could happen.

Eisenhower went from Col to 4 star General in less than 3 years and to 5 star general one year later. If you have talent the pace of promotion can be remarkably fast.

That's nothing.  Nathan Bedford Forrest went from Private to General in three years.

There’s gotta be a better example than that.

Sig to Houston would be a major loss.

The O's get to keep the software right?
