The Orioles are hiring a former MGM Resorts International executive to serve as the Major League Baseball organization’s executive vice president of public affairs, a move meant to bolster Baltimore’s executive team as the organization works toward a new lease for Camden Yards and plans for development around the iconic stadium.
Kerry Watson, who served as MGM’s regional vice president of government affairs for the last three years, will join the Orioles to oversee the franchise’s governmental affairs, communications, community development and creative content, The Baltimore Banner has learned.
The Orioles are also promoting long-time Orioles executive Greg Bader to become the chief operating officer and are expanding the job scope of Lisa Tolson, senior vice president of human relations, in a role dubbed chief people officer.
Watson could not be reached for comment, and the Orioles had not responded to a request for interviews with Bader and Tolson at the time of publication.
