Friday Bird Droppings: Where it’s international signing day

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

For Orioles fans who have been grumbling about the team not making any moves this winter, cheer up: the Birds are probably going to announce a bunch of signings today. They just won’t be major league signings.

Today marks the beginning of MLB’s 2020 international signing period, despite the fact that, you know, it’s not 2020. In a normal year, the signing period would have begun last July 2, but — in case you didn’t notice — last year was not normal. The pandemic pushed the process back five months, but today the wait is over.
