Orioles GM Mike Elias clarified that while the loss of a draft pick is a consideration, the team is open to pursuing all pitchers who can enhance their roster."We're in on everybody....When there's aspects of the rules that create wrinkles, you've got to weigh them, so we do that," he stated, affirming their intent to explore all options without being hindered by the qualifying offer system.
Elias emphasized the team’s ongoing commitment to adding talent, regardless of the complexities introduced by qualifying offers. He said, "But there is no player that we're not interested in or pursuing in some shape or fashion if we feel like the talent is additive to the current roster we have." This highlights their strategy of evaluating potential signings based on talent rather than solely on draft repercussions.
