Mike Elias has been dancing fast this winter, running the Orioles like a man playing for his job, but unable to make the one move for a big-time starter that his team needs the most. Cashing in a lot of value from a thinning farm system is another indication that he’s willing to do almost anything to get the Orioles back to the playoffs this year...but the “almost” part hangs over the whole process. Framber Valdez is still a free agent as of this writing, though signing Zach Eflin to a one-year, $10-million contract seems to make a higher-end acquisition less likely.
