O's didn't give Red Sox permission to talk to Sig for GM job

[Just Regular]

Process wise, I see the original source was Boston.    That's not surprising, given the Tight Ship Elias.     I could almost see it like they are just trying to throw stones in the Baltimore pond.

Guessing that Sig is under contract, and Boston wasn't Toronto rude, the broad outline may have been:

Sam Kennedy to Mike Elias and/or John Angelos: Can we talk to Sig?

Mike Elias to Sig Mejdal: Boston called, you interested?

Sig Mejdal: No, you know we're BFF's.    Thanks for due diligence.

Mike Elias to Sam Kennedy: No

Boston Media: o'S dIdN't GiVe ReD sOx PeRmIsSiOn?!?!@#$%^&

This piece is definitely from a Boston perspective.  I suspect "the Orioles...never provided the Sox with the go-ahead" could be have easily been written "the Orioles said no."

It used to be the Orioles getting turned down by potential managerial and front office candidates. It’s nice to see the shoe on the other foot.
