Good morning, Camden Chatters.
In what’s been an otherwise quiet offseason for the Orioles, yesterday brought plenty of actual news. For starters, the Birds announced the opening of their new, state-of-the-art training academy in the Dominican Republic, marking a huge step forward in the club’s international development efforts. The academy, which will be the base of operations for the Orioles’ international amateurs, boasts three full fields, a practice field, batting and pitching tunnels, a dining hall, educational facilities, entertainment spaces, and dormitories that can house more than 100 players and staff.
It’s been a long time coming.
