All I can say to this is that it looks like everyone probably wishes that the owners' greed hadn't driven Korea Telecom away.
In fact, after the backlash from the KT deal, it looks like the KBO has taken to holding secret meetings and changing the rules without any consultation involving the players. I suppose that the other owners are watching this and thinking that maybe they can reduce salaries in a similar fashion in the near future, so they aren't going to step in and stop this madness.
It looks to me like Centennial is made up of scam artists. They've found a way to promote their client in professional sports on the cheap, while they can take in tolls for playing middle-man.

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.
