Pretty sad to see the negotiations over the new posting system between NPB and MLB continue to drag on. It¡¯s already December now and MLB teams are trying to set their rotations for next season.
It doesn¡¯t look too good when NPB sends its director of baseball operations (Nobuhisa Ito) to negotiate with a monolith like MLB, then he comes back and blames the other side for a deal not being reached.
Being embarrassed on the international stage is definitely not cool, but is it just me, or are the NPB folks completely oblivious?
