Orioles GM Elias fires 11 scouts, front-office workers

BALTIMORE (AP) — Orioles general manager Mike Elias has fired 11 members of the scouting department and front office as part of an effort to turn around a team in the early stages of a major rebuild.
Elias announced the personnel moves Friday. The rookie GM would not reveal the names of those people dismissed, nor the positions impacted.
“We’re in a period of change right now with the industry and we’re in a period of change right now with the Orioles,” Elias said.
