"The Orioles reached out to Cubs VP of scouting Dan Kantrovitz about a possible interview for their general manager opening, according to 670 The Score's Bruce Levine. However, it appears as though Kantrovitz declined the offer, as he isn't looking to leave the Cubs organization. Kantrovitz has over 21 years of baseball operations experience, split over stints with the Cardinals, Athletics, and Cubs."
"Since Kantrovitz started overseeing Chicago's drafts, the team has amassed a farm system that many pundits rank among the game's best. Such homegrown names like Cade Horton and are contributing to the Cubs' success in 2025, and the club has also used its prospect depth to swing some prominent trades, such as last winter's blockbuster with the Astros that saw 2024 first-rounder included as part of the package that landed Kyle Tucker."
"There are some past ties between Kantrovitz and Orioles president of baseball operations Mike Elias, as the two worked together in the St. Louis front office from 2007-09. This naturally doesn't mean that the O's are looking just for candidates Elias is personally familiar with, but Kantrovitz's amateur scouting background is perhaps a hint about what the Orioles are prioritizing in their GM search."
Dan Kantrovitz was contacted by the Baltimore Orioles about interviewing for their general manager opening but declined because he is not looking to leave the Cubs organization. He has over 21 years in baseball operations with the Cardinals, Athletics, and Cubs and has served as Chicago's VP of scouting since September 2019. Kantrovitz drew interest from the Angels and Mets in previous years. Under his oversight, the Cubs built a top-ranked farm system with homegrown contributors like Cade Horton and leveraged prospects in major trades, including the package that helped acquire Kyle Tucker. Kantrovitz previously worked with Orioles executive Mike Elias in St. Louis (2007–09).
