Japanese Posting Fees To Be Split Over Two Years
Posted: Wed Jan 8, 2014 3:32 pm
Under Major League Baseball's new Japanese posting system, the maximum $20 million fee for players calls for clubs to pay in two installments.
The Japanese team posting their player will receive $13 million in the first year and $7 million in the second.
The idea behind the decision is to give more clubs a realistic opportunity to bid on a top flight talent.
