Gioioso, a longtime friend of Orioles owner Peter Angelos, organized the meeting that led to Angelos purchasing the team in 1993.

There are No. 1 and No. 2 starters available, along with pitchers for the back end of the rotation.

"To come in and fill those shoes and keep this team on a good roll, I absolutely expect to do that," Kimbrel said. "That’s why I signed here. That’s what I’ve been doing my whole career.”

With a faint “Baltimore will pass,” the streak of picks ended.

The Orioles will have three picks in the top 34 after the order was officially set in the MLB Draft Lottery on Tuesday.

Holliday, who turned 20 on Monday, ascended all the way to Triple-A in his first full professional season and has been named baseball’s No. 1 prospect.

“I’ve never been one to view these meetings as some type of compressed time frame where you have to do something,” general manager Mike Elias said.

The Orioles are looking for a starter and reliever — while pondering other potential moves — as MLB's decision-makers prepare to gather in Nashville next week.

French spent the last three years as Atlanta's bullpen coach.

The Orioles are shifting to earlier games over the summer in hopes of drawing more families to Camden Yards.

Four players agreed to one-year deals, while 13 others were tendered contracts. Salary figures are exchanged at a later date, and if the two sides do not agree, an arbitration hearing is scheduled.

The Orioles have big decisions to make this offseason on how to shape their roster.

Hyde is just the fourth manager in Orioles history to earn the recognition, and the first since Buck Showalter in 2014.

“It’s pretty cool just having my name etched there with Cal [Ripken Jr.] and Gregg Olson,” Henderson said. The 22-year-old became the first Orioles’ player to take the award since Olson in 1989.

Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson are the stars the Orioles plan to build around. What would it take to keep them?

Rutschman won the award for American League catchers and Henderson for AL utility players. Silver Sluggers go to the best offensive player at each position.

The Orioles’ 101-season came earlier than many expected after Mike Elias embarked on a full rebuild upon arriving in 2018. For that, his peers have recognized him as the top executive in baseball.

The Silver Slugger Award is given to the best offensive player at each position.

Executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias didn’t hand out anything longer than a one-year deal, but a few players signed over the winter played key roles during Baltimore’s push toward its first American League East championship since 2014.

As baseball’s offseason approaches, Elias could use the glut of prospects in Baltimore’s top-ranked farm system to supplement a team that won 101 games. Here's how he did making trades to shape this year's Orioles.
