Josh Barfield declines Orioles’ GM opportunity

Former Padres infielder Josh Barfield was reportedly a potential candidate for the vacant general manager position with the Baltimore Orioles. Following the promotion of Mike Elias to president earlier this season, the Orioles began searching for a new GM to help guide the franchise into its next chapter.

However, the search for a new front office leader took a turn when Barfield, currently serving as the assistant GM for the Chicago White Sox, opted to remain in the Windy City. According to sources, the Orioles had expressed interest in bringing Barfield on board, but he ultimately decided against the move, choosing to continue his work with the White Sox organization.

Barfield’s decision is significant, as he has been part of a White Sox team that has shown promise in recent years. As the franchise looks to build upon its foundation, Barfield’s expertise and familiarity with the team’s inner workings will be invaluable moving forward.

As the Orioles continue their search, Barfield’s choice highlights the competitive nature of front office roles in Major League Baseball. With the right leadership, both the White Sox and the Orioles aim to capitalize on their respective potential in the ever-evolving landscape of the league.
