我剛剛看了ESPN的新聞
While the posting agreement between MLB and Nippon Professional Baseball
expired last week, the sides reportedly agreed several weeks ago to the
outlines of a deal that would for this offseason continue the rules of the
previous agreement, although no announcement has been made. The rules call for
the Japanese club to set a maximum $20 million posting fee, and any MLB club
willing to bid that amount would be able to negotiate with Otani for 30 days.
照espn這樣說的話是開後門走舊入札制度
可是文章的最後又是拿國際選秀的pool來討論哪一隊有機會拿大谷

Nippon Professional Baseball and Major League Baseball are negotiating
revising the old posting system which expired Oct. 31, but The Associated
Press reported earlier this week that the two sides have reached a tentative
understanding to maintain it.
The posting system allows NPB players, who do not have the requisite nine
years of professional experience to gain international free agency, to be put
up for bidding by MLB teams.
Under the old posting rules, any MLB team interested in a posted Japanese
player could offer up to $20 million for the right to negotiate with the
player, with only the team that signs the player transferring the fee to the
NPB team.
這篇是Japantimes又說雖然在10/31過期惹，可是有達成協議維持舊入札
到底是開後門還是吞下去? 這樣差很多錢捏
