The Baltimore Orioles turned heads when they signed Pete Alonso during the Winter Meetings in December, and there was an expectation that they would part with one of Ryan Mountcastle or Coby Mayo before the start of spring training. Perhaps that expectation was giving Mike Elias the benefit of the doubt that he didn't deserve, considering he has been one to waste the timelines of young position players.
Elias met with reporters on Tuesday and indicated there wasn't a concrete plan in place for Mayo. Despite Mayo not exactly impressing at either of the corner infield spots, the Orioles plan on trying the 24-year-old at different positions throughout spring training.
