Valentine Weighs in on Powell Scandal
Discussion in the Open Talk forum
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.

From the article:[Translation of a translation. What was actually said may vary.]
Actually, put that way, I think that an agent isn't going to necessarily want his client to receive a 3 month suspension to begin the season. So it strikes me that there is at least some penalty being applied to the agent.
Valentine-kantoku then voices a complaint about the MLB season overlapping with the Pacific League opening, both in Japan. The Pacific League's Koike-president is in full agreement with Valentine-kantoku in this regard.
