Orioles GM Mike Elias named MLB Executive of the Year after unprecedented 101-win season

At his end-of-the-season news conference last month, Mike Elias made sure to recognize the “historic achievement” that was the Orioles’ turnaround. “I hope that the city of Baltimore remembers this group for kind of reminding the world that this is Baltimore and we do baseball here,” Elias said. Among those the Orioles reminded of that officially include Elias’ peers, who voted the Orioles general manager as MLB Executive of the Year, as announced Tuesday morning.
