The dates a player may be posted run from November 1 (today) to March 1 of the next year. When a Japanese team posts a player, that player's name is sent to the MLB Commissioner who distributes it to the 30 MLB teams for bids. Any teams wanting to bid on a player may do so within a certain period (I don't recall how many days off hand), the highest bid being sent back to the Japanese Commissioner's Office and given to the team to decide if it's enough compensation.
If the posting team decides to accept the bid, the winning MLB team then has so many days to negotiate with the player. If those negotiations fail, the player remains with the team that posted him.
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.
