Major League Baseball will void the Baltimore Orioles' signing of 17-year-old Korean pitcher Seong-Min Kim due to a breach in protocol, MLB.com has confirmed.
MASN Sports first reported MLB's plans to nix the contract.
Baltimore executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette issued an apology Friday after the Korean Baseball Organization filed a letter of protest against the Orioles, claiming the club broke protocol by not reaching out to the KBO before signing Kim to a contract on Jan. 30. Teams are required to make inquiries before negotiating with Korean amateur players. The KBO announced plans to ban the O's scouts from attending its amateur games.
The Orioles' trade of right-handed pitcher Jeremy Guthrie leaves a significant void in the top of the club's starting rotation just a dozen days before pitchers and catchers report to spring training in Sarasota, but the move continues to fulfill new executive vice president Dan Duquette's offseason priorities geared at improving the Orioles pitching staff as a whole.
The arrival of right-handed starter Jason Hammel, 29, and reliever Matt Lindstrom, 31, from Colorado won't dazzle fans who might rather have high-end prospects than two additional pieces to the current pitching staff puzzle.

With four years of major league tenure, Hammel arrives in Baltimore and automatically becomes the Orioles' most-experienced starting pitcher. While Duquette said Hammel will ultimately replace Guthrie's innings, that doesn't make him the favorite to pitch Opening Day. Tommy Hunter, Jake Arrieta and newcomer Yei-Win Chen are among those who will have opportunities to win that role.
