 SirMoeHimself thanks a lot for giving us this bastard! www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/ny-orioles-pension-fraud-accusations-20201024-nsxeqgtdwndmhc5neu4yvqrxh4-story.htmlIt was rather interesting last week to see disgraced former Astros GM Jeff Luhnow emerge from MLB exile to once again proclaim his innocence in the Houston sign-stealing cheating scandal and this time, cast blame on his former underlings. When Luhnow said, “the people who were involved, that didn’t leave naturally to go to other teams ...,” he could only have been referring to his former top assistant Mike Elias, now the GM in Baltimore. Elias may have escaped the Astros scandal, but he’s facing his own investigation for potential pension fraud. It could result in equally severe consequences. Though they were never publicly named in the MLB investigation of the Astros' 2017-2018 cheating schemes — as Commissioner Rob Manfred took pains not to prosecute anyone under Luhnow or manager A.J. Hinch in the Houston organization — it’s been widely speculated throughout baseball that Elias and Sig Mejdal, then Director of Decision Sciences (i.e. analytics) with the Astros, were two of the architects of the “Codebreaker” operation. The two have denied any involvement. Elias was able to jump ship ahead of the scandal breaking to take the Orioles GM job in 2018. He brought Mejdal along to be his assistant GM, and Chris Holt, a minor league pitching instructor, to serve as an organization pitching coordinator for the O’s. |

You're very welcome. Get that bastard a vest! He can't be vested if there's no pension. Ha! You think being vested means they give you a vest, don't you? pizzabagel: Huh? No! Yes you do. You think after you've been with the company five years, they present you with a nice vest. pizzabagel: So what if I do? |

You're very welcome. Get that bastard a vest! He can't be vested if there's no pension. But the vests were a giveaway item, so it's no big deal. It's a write off to the O's. |

Jerry: You mean they're actually doing the custom vests? Cool. George: Guess who he put in charge of Custom Vest Day? Me. Jerry: Hey, look at you. George: Yeah, look at me. Now I gotta figure out the chest sizes of 59,000 different people! What if a barrel-chested guy shows up? I gotta be on top of that. |
