It could be a while before we see Japanese two-way superstar Shohei Otani in MLB. The new collective bargaining agreement has strict caps on international free agent spending for players under 25, which should be a deterrent for the 22-year-old Otani—though his current team, the Nippon Ham Fighters, has discussed the possibility of posting him for MLB teams after next season anyway. (And it’s possible that a workaround could be developed for Otani to get the money he deserves.)
