- Is that true?
Have you tired Wikipedia? Is there any reason to believe the article is inaccurate?
- Perhaps if they could reach FA more quickly this posting system could be abolished.
Please write a letter to the MLB so that NPB teams losing players to the MLB will be compensated.

Looks like the Iwakuma talks are dead and he's heading back to the Eagles. Maybe this will result in some much-needed changes to the posting system.
The ironic thing is Matsui is now in talks with the A's, despite the problems they caused.

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

First of all, how did this system come into existent? I heard it's a result of Irabu and his insistence to only play for the Yankees. Is that true?
Additionally, is there any pressure among Japanese players to make the initial 9-year contract shorter? From what I've read and seen about NPB, it seems the players are relatively powerless compared to MLB. Perhaps if they could reach FA more quickly this posting system could be abolished.
