Is Monster Mastuzaka Known

Is a youth called Japanese Daisuke Matsuzaka known?

It is a Japanese player which comes and certainly plays an active part in a season and MLB.

In a Japanese player, equivalent to Ichiro or it is the player which has received evaluation beyond it.

A position is a pitcher.

The evaluation from the major leagues is exceptionally high, and the Yankees, the Red Sox, the Dodgers, the Mets, the Mariners, etc. are aiming at it.

Eager one is especially called the Yankees and Mariners.

It seems that it is fairly positive to acquisition since not both teams have the uneasiness in an acquisition fund side and are insufficient of starters.

There is a big problem in the Matsuzaka acquisition.

It is a posting system.

About a posting system

It is the system which is prescribed about the transfer of the player between Japan and the U.S. by the Japan-U.S. player agreement to define, and was born as a player's new overseas transfer method.

1. When a Japanese professional baseball team accepts the will of the player without FA qualification who wishes a transfer abroad, a professional baseball team notifies that the player is a player a contract of can be made to major-leagues commissioner through the commissioner of Japanese professional baseball.

2. Major-leagues commissioner notifies of the contents of the above-mentioned notification to major-leagues each professional baseball team (posting).

3. The interested major-leagues professional baseball team has to show the amount of money for acquisition to the player by whom posting was done within 40 days to major-leagues commissioner from the day which had notification from major-leagues commissioner.

4. When there are two or more professional baseball teams who showed interest, the professional baseball team who presented the big-ticket amount of a bid acquires bargaining rights with a Japanese professional baseball team.

5. A Japanese professional baseball team cannot be concerned with a player's will, but, on the other hand, can refuse on a target negotiation with the major-leagues professional baseball team who acquired bargaining rights.

6. When a major-leagues professional baseball team reaches a contract with a Japanese player, the amount of money for a bid is paid to the Japanese professional baseball team who abandons this player's right of possession the total amount as that countervalue.

It is because the amount of money for acquisition becomes huge only at the pitcher called number one's ability in the past several years.

According to the press reports, it is said that the amount of money for a bid is 30 million dollars or more.

Although a major professional baseball team positive to acquisition seemingly has more than one, probably, the professional baseball team who can pay this amount of money does not have a not many deer.
