Orioles land pair of international players

BALTIMORE -- The Orioles announced Tuesday that they have agreed to terms with a pair of international players: infielder Moises Ramirez and right-handed pitcher Carlos del Rosario.

Ramirez is a 16-year-old out of the Dominican Republic, while Del Rosario -- also out of the D.R. -- is 19.

"Today's signings are part of a coordinated plan for the Orioles to re-establish the club in the international recruiting arena," executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette said in a news release. "Ramirez has all the tools to be a solid offensive player in the middle of the diamond, and del Rosario has the size and pitches to develop into a Major League pitcher.
