Amid a disappointing season with a 35-46 record, Orioles GM Mike Elias is preparing for both buying and selling as the trade deadline approaches. The team is currently far from playoff contention, needing to overcome seven teams for a Wild Card spot. Elias remains optimistic about the team's potential despite their struggles, emphasizing that decisions will take time and ownership is willing to spend, whether to reinforce the lineup or to retain salary for better returns on trades.
Elias expressed that the organization is evaluating both selling and buying options and is hopeful that the team, despite a poor start, can turn around.
He emphasized the necessity of being realistic about the time required for transactional decisions, indicating it's a longer process than just a couple of days.
