Tim Britton on the O’s: With the third-best record in baseball, the question is just how aggressive Baltimore will be in buying at the deadline. Mike Elias’ track record points to some caution.

Over the winter, after suggesting he’d be a big spender, he instead opted for smaller moves. Until he behaves differently, that will remain the expectation.
