“Active draft” 12 teams to discuss specific proposals December 9 22:14
About "active draft" for players who are not blessed with the opportunity to participate in professional baseball, when the executive committee by the representatives of the 12 teams will be held during the year, the number of players targeted by each team, etc. We decided to add discussion staff and proceed with the discussion.
This active draft is a system that allows a transfer to be made by nominating the listed active players by another team.
The professional baseball players' association strongly urges the 12 baseball teams to introduce them from next year, as players who are not blessed with opportunities to participate can seek new opportunities.
On the 9th, the executive committee of representatives of the 12 teams held in Tokyo exchanged opinions on the active drafts, and held a meeting with the organizers of each team during the month. We decided to discuss specifically when to do it and the number of target players.
NPB = Director of the Japan Baseball Organization, Mr. Minoru Ihara explained, “We will collect opinions and dig deeper and consider what is effective”.
On the other hand, as for the introduction of the active draft from the next year, I only talked about “I will consider whether it is possible”.
In addition, we decided to set up a working group to promote and promote baseball, and the giants, Hanshin, DeNA, Rakuten, Orix, and Seibu became 6 members, and what is necessary to expand the business. It was decided to proceed with the discussion.
