Good morning, Camden Chatters.
The Orioles may still be quiet on the MLB free agent market, but their organization got a whole lot stronger yesterday. On opening day of the 2023-24 international signing period, the Birds signed 19 youngsters from Venezuela and the Dominican Republic to begin their professional careers. Check out Mark Brown’s roundup for details about the newcomers, headlined by shortstop Emilio Sánchez, who received a $1.3 million signing bonus.
Best of luck to all of these guys as they set off on their baseball journeys. As is the nature of such things, it’ll be a few years before we can really evaluate how well the O’s fared with this international class.
