Free Agency and Posting
I am a law student looking for sources that contain regulations governing Japanese baseball. Particularly I am looking for Japan's version of America's collective bargaining agreement. I would have thought it would not be hard to obtain, but my research has led to nothing but dead ends.

Thanks
Jonathan

What you're looking for is called "The Baseball Agreement" and the latest version can be found on the Japan Professional Baseball Players Association (JPBPA) site here [in Japanese].

There is an English translation of the 2001 agreement between NPB and MLB here [PDF].

Hope this helps.

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.
