It’s been a whirlwind of a week for Orioles general manager Mike Elias as well as the coaches and players.
First, Trey Mancini underwent successful surgery to remove a malignant tumor from his colon.
Then, the club had to adjust to Major League Baseball’s decision to shut down spring training and delay Opening Day for at least two weeks because of the coronavirus.
For now, the Orioles will continue to train in Sarasota, Fla., until further guidance is provided by MLB. All of the activities will remain internal, and there are currently no plans to scrimmage against another nearby club such as the Pirates.
“It’s been quite a week with Trey Mancini’s surgery and this happening concurrently,” Elias said in a conference call with reporters March 13.
