The Japan Professional Baseball Players Association (JPBPA) has a chance to do some good by proposing more changes to the free agency system.
In calling for a shorter wait until international free agency and an elimination of the compensation system, the players are seeking to loosen the grip the NPB's stifling rules have on player movement.
Both are good ideas in theory, but where the JPBPA has faltered historically is in digging in long enough to see the job done.
