Orioles GM Mike Elias joined the Big Bad Morning Show on Thursday, as the Birds enter the last month of their 2021 season.

The 24-year-old is quickly becoming a cornerstone for this team but does he have a spot in the field to compliment his bat? Listen in as Mike discusses Ryan's breakout season and how he fits in with this rebuilding club. Plus, Mike discusses what a rebuilding team does in the offseason to continue their forward progress and how his work is just getting started once the offseason begins.
