It’s interesting that at least in the KBO, there is a limit to the number of foreign players that can be signed. I think each team can only have two. I don’t know how they define “foreign” or whether they specify “American,” but it’s interesting.
I don’t think it would fly here, but there’s an argument to make that spreading out the Japanese presence would be good for Japanese interest. I bet there were a lot of Baltimore jerseys in Tokyo when Koji was an Oriole, and even now, Ichiro and Seattle are synonymous.
Rare miss from Meoli.
Hmmm, decent Orioles pitching program orrrrrr hang out with Ohtani and have the best possible chance of a World Series ring in a sunshine-y city that is as close as you can get to Japan? The decision basically makes itself and it's not even close.
What are we talking about here?
Agreed.
even if we can have 2nd most competitive offer after the dodgers, the Dodgers still boast Being current WS winners, much closer to Japan than Baltimore, plus 2x legendary Japanese players while the O’s have zero.
