The Professional Baseball Players Association, which is seeking the introduction of an "active draft" that allows players who are not blessed with opportunities to participate in professional baseball to transfer to other baseball teams, has voluntarily 5 players for each baseball team against NPB = Nippon Professional Baseball Players Association. He presented a new plan to list the above players and asked them to consider it again.
The "Active Draft" is a system that allows players who are not blessed with participation opportunities to seek new opportunities to play, as it is possible for other teams to nominate the listed active players to transfer. I want to introduce it.
On the 29th, the NPB and the players'association will hold office negotiations, and the players' association will set the season off after the notification of out-of-strength is over, and each team will voluntarily list 5 or more players. I presented a plan.
After that, I asked NPB to reconsider for the introduction next year.
In response, the NPB side has indicated its intention to discuss the response at the executive committee on the 8th of next month.
Regarding the active draft, in January last year, NPB showed a plan for each team to list eight players voluntarily, and decided to introduce it during the last season with the players' association, but the new Corona The introduction was postponed because the opening was postponed due to the spread of virus infection.
Mr. Tadahito Mori, Executive Secretary of the Players Association, said, "Originally, it is better to decide the target players by the number of registration days rather than voluntarily choosing by the team, but for the time being, I want to give top priority to realization." ..
In addition, the players' association proposed that a third party other than the referee perform the replay verification by video, but the NPB side responded negatively.
