Are the major league superstars playing in leagues in other countries this year?How realistic is the story?
It is a time when major league demonstration games should be held, but now players are unable to use the club's facilities.This is because the lockouts are prolonged due to sluggish labor-management negotiations.
If the lockout continues, the start of the regular season will inevitably be delayed.Therefore, if the start of the regular season is postponed, the players union will actively support players to play in leagues in other countries.
Philadelphia Phillies signature hitter Bryce Harper, who won the National League MVP last year, posted a composite photo on his SNS on the 1st. He posted a composite photo of himself on the uniform of the Yomiuri Giants, a Japanese professional baseball team.Then, Harper left the phrase,Are the Yomiuri Giants there? Let's spend some time. Harper signed a 13-year, $330 million mammoth contract with Philadelphia.The chances of Harper playing in Japanese professional baseball are close to zero. Nevertheless, the fact that Harper posted a composite photo of him wearing a Yomiuri uniform expresses his hope that the lockdown will be lifted as soon as possible and he will play in the game.
