Earlier this week, the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) filed a complaint with MLB alleging that the Orioles broke protocol by signing 17-year-old left-hander?Kim Seong-Min last month. The Korean Baseball Association (KBA), a separate organization, went a step further by banning Orioles? scouts from attending local games. Well, tonight the Orioles responded.
Courtesy of Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun, Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette issued the following apology, via press release, to the KBO and KBA:
?On behalf of the Orioles organization, I offer a sincere apology to the Korea Baseball Organization and the Korea Baseball Association for the club?s unintentional breach of protocol in failing to tender a status check in the process of?signing Seong-Min Kim. The Orioles respect Major League Baseball?s recruiting policies and the governing bodies and people that contribute to the growth of baseball around the world.?
I didn?t think it could get more embarrassing for the Orioles than their general manager search earlier this offseason, but we might have ourselves a new winner. This apology is better late than never, I suppose, but isn?t it a little curious they released this on a Friday night when a lot of folks (at least stateside) aren?t paying attention? This is what happens when you miss baseball and love a little conspiracy.
