Orioles interviewing potential GM’s

The Baltimore Orioles are now in the process of interviewing multiple people for the open general manager position, which was vacated by Andy MacPhail.

Owner Peter Angelos and manager Buck Showalter are the point men in the interviews, with the lawyer leaning heavily on the skipper’s advice.

Showalter has the ear and trust of Angelos and is expected to take on a bigger role with the club, though he will remain manager and will not move into the front office.

Many in the industry believe the O’s need to go against their usual hire of an older, more established baseball guy and try to hire the next big name.

Tony LaCava is a name that continues to come up thanks to his impressive work with the Toronto Blue Jays organization, and he may be the favorite at this stage.
