The Orioles have recently been lauded as the land of opportunity. Maikel Franco, one of the more coveted free agents still remaining in the middle of March, echoed that sentiment shortly after he signed with the O’s.
“They gave me an opportunity to play, to show my talent,” Franco said.
Fair enough.
Rebuilding clubs provide players an opportunity to establish themselves in the majors. It’s a win-win situation that is hardly a new concept. Still, this must make it more difficult for players within the organization that do not make the team.
