The Orioles gave Toronto three runs without the Blue Jays even registering a hit as recent acquisition Shintaro Fujinami struggled with his command again.
Baltimore was always unlikely to give up a top prospect, and Mike Elias showed once again that the plan is to build with young talent â not use prospects to acquire help.
Mike Elias has done well to make the Orioles the best team in the AL while also having the best farm system in baseball. But both top spots can't hold forever, and it makes more sense for the franchise to augment the present than the future.
