Ben Verlander drops eye-opening take on Orioles’ front office
Ben Verlander sounds off on the Orioles.
Ben Verlander, Justin Verlander’s brother, is not holding back when it comes to the Baltimore Orioles. The Fox Sports MLB analyst and Flippin’ Bats podcast host delivered a scathing critique of the team’s front office, blaming its leadership for undermining what could have been a dominant era in the American League East.
The brother of the 42-year-old ace, known for his outspoken takes, didn’t hold back in calling out Baltimore’s organizational philosophy.
According to the Fox Sports MLB analyst, Baltimore’s failure to seriously invest in pitching–despite clear opportunities– has derailed its momentum and risks wasting a golden championship window. In his recent podcast, he called out Orioles executive Mike Elias and the new ownership group for talking big but delivering little.
He was particularly incensed by the team’s decision not to retain ace Corbin Burnes in free agency after acquiring him via trade–a move that, to Verlander, symbolizes a large pattern of corner-cutting.
