Part 4/7:
Orioles fans are feeling the sting of dissatisfaction this offseason. The team’s general manager, Mike Elias, had been granted the green light to invest in player acquisitions but has so far opted for a minimalist approach. With underwhelming signings like Kyle Gibson and Adam Frasier, many fans feel the franchise is squandering an opportunity to bolster its roster as other teams enhance theirs.
Elias’s philosophy seemingly prioritizes internal development over big-money signings, with the goal of proving that a championship can be achieved without lavish spending. However, this strategy raises questions among the fanbase, particularly as competing teams like the Red Sox and Yankees make impactful trades and signings.
