## Orioles GM Mike Elias
Orioles baseball boss Mike Elias has never won a playoff game and it’s quite fair to wonder if he ever will after his team has had successive seasons falling 18.5 and 19.
## Rays' Competitive Edge
The Rays have utterly undressed Elias for eight years with smaller budgets and less resources and repeatedly thrashed him in trades.
## Elias' Trade History
Elias traded Corbin Burnes from the Brewers and gave Shane Baz to the Rays as if he was Burnes.
## 2027 Trade Targets
Orioles are circling strategic options for 2027 off World Series rosters.
## Shane McClanahan (Trade)
Rays former Cy Young starter Shane McClanahan is the top starting pitching trade target for Elias.
## Freddy Peralta (Free Agent)
Freddy Peralta might be closer to $30M/season than $20M for Orioles 2027 needs.
## Brandon Woodruff (Free Agent)
Brandon Woodruff could be a cheap second starter for Orioles 2027.
## Joey Ortiz (Trade)
Joey Ortiz would alter Orioles infield defense if traded for.
## Orioles' Strategic Plan
Orioles target McClanahan and Peralta for 2027 season with trade options.
## Dan Syzmborski's View
Dan Syzmborski, Fangraphs analyst, says one-year rental for Peralta makes sense.
## Brandon Woodruff's Value
Woodruff was good for 150 innings/year before injuries and could be cheap.
## Joey Ortiz's Impact
Ortiz would improve Orioles infield defense if paired with Jordan Westburg.
## Trade Deadline Consideration
Orioles might trade Gunnar Henderson for Joey Ortiz by trade deadline.
## 2027 Strategy
Orioles target McClanahan and Peralta for 2027 season with trade options.
## Key takeaway

Orioles target Shane McClanahan and Freddy Peralta for 2027 season.
