`` Active Draft '' is a system that allows you to transfer by listing nominated active players by other teams, and players who are not blessed with professional baseball player associations can seek new places to play We are strongly demanding that we do what we can.

On the 22nd, NPB and the Athletes 'Association held office negotiations in Tokyo, and the NPB side explained to the Athletes' Association a proposal compiled by 12 teams.

According to stakeholders, the time of implementation was August, and the number of players was shown to be up to eight for each team.

In the athlete's meeting, the opinions of each team from the athlete's meeting regarding the details of the system will be compiled and responded to the NPB in the future, and further discussions will be made for a final agreement.

"The NPB has responded to the opinion of the athlete association that he wants to do things from the beginning. The gap narrows with each discussion, and the feeling of being able to manage somehow is coming out." I was talking.
