Orioles Announce Plans for New Dominican Training Academy

This is long overdue, but I'm glad to see us turning the corner and doing things the right way. Hope it translates into sustainable success.

Kind of cuts against the “O’s are cutting payroll because they’re cheap” narrative.    Nice to see them making this long term investment, which I think will pay dividends for a long time down the road.     Sounds like it won’t be ready until late ‘22 or early ‘23, but should be a good recruiting tool for the class that signs before the ‘23 season.   

Well hopefully they should be able to do both this and put money into the MLB eventually.

My hope is that cost cutting is more strategic than forced, and that once we are putting a major league product on the field, spending will support that. This announcement makes me feel better about that possibility, but really time will tell.
