Last night the Orioles released a statement from Dan Duquette regarding the whole banned from South Korea thing. Here is that statement:

"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."

Oh, well, as long as you're sorry.
