FILE - Mike Elias, executive vice president and general manager for the Baltimore Orioles , speaks to the media before a baseball game against the Milwaukee Brewers, Saturday, April 13, 2024, in Baltimore. Elias faces a fascinating challenge in the coming weeks and months. His farm system is overflowing with hitting prospects who look increasingly ready for the major leagues, but finding room for them could be tricky.
Norfolk scored 98 runs in its first eight games this season. The Tides have cooled off a bit since then — and removing Holliday from their lineup doesn’t help — but entering Saturday night’s game, they still had three players slugging over .700: outfielders Heston Kjerstad and Kyle Stowers and third baseman Coby Mayo. Outfielder Connor Norby has also been productive, with a .305 average and four homers through 13 games.Salvador Perez homers, Bobby Witt Jr.
Outfielder Austin Hays is off to a nightmarish start at the plate — 2 for 32 entering Saturday’s game with Milwaukee — but 24-year-old Colton Cowser has made up for that by going 13 for 27. And Hays was an All-Star last year who is certainly capable of rebounding. It’s certainly possible the Orioles could use their surplus of position players in a trade — they did that to some degree when sending infield prospect Joey Ortiz to Milwaukee in the deal that brought ace Corbin Burnes to Baltimore — but it may be a while before it becomes clear who exactly will be available from other teams at the deadline.
