In order to activate the transfer of players who do not have the opportunity to participate in professional baseball, the ``active draft'' will be held for the first time on the 9th, allowing other teams to nominate and transfer active players listed by each team. .
The "Active Draft" is a system that was introduced for the first time to give new opportunities to active players by activating the transfer of players who do not have the opportunity to participate, and other teams appoint active players listed by each team. By doing so, you will be able to transfer.
Specifically, each team will list two or more players from its pending roster who are expected to sign contracts next season.
The listed players will be shown to other teams in advance through NPB = Nippon Professional Baseball, and on the day, each team will tell the chairman of the active draft meeting which players they want to acquire based on the list.
We tally it and can appoint baseball team to belong to player with most nominations from other baseball teams first.
And the team that has nominated a player has a mechanism to get the right to appoint the next player, and in principle repeats this flow.
There is no bidding format as in the Rookie Draft, so draft players do not compete.
The second round will be played only by the desired team, and will proceed in the reverse order of the first round.
Every team always has one person out and one person in.
Foreign players, players with multi-year contracts, players with free agent rights, players who have exercised their rights in the past, and players under development are not included in the list.
Also, players with an annual salary of 50 million yen or more are not eligible, but you can list only one player with an annual salary of 50 million yen or more and less than 100 million yen.
The first ``Active Draft'' is private and will be held online from 1:00 pm on the 9th, and only players who have been transferred will be announced.
