Orioles general manager Mike Elias has fired 14 members of the organization, most from the player development department and international operations. ''It's tough stuff, but we're trying to reposition our organization for the future to compete in our division,'' Elias said Tuesday before Baltimore played the Los Angeles Dodgers. Elias began rebuilding the organization from top to bottom after the Orioles finished 47-115 last year 2018, their worst record since coming to Baltimore in 1954.
