Here's a wrap on Oh Oh Otani sitruation, as of today, from a generally reliable source, Crasnick on ESPN,
reporting on Manfred's statements at GM meeting yesterday.
MLB and HamFighters have agreed to grandfather him under the old posting system.
The Players Association will annouce their decision this coming Monday, but Manfred says problems in them agreeing are "minor".
Total M's money in international pool should be around $2 mil (forget the figures I cited in earlier post about how much whitesox money was shifting to M's on Viera deal).
Some confusion might still remain as one report last week suggested the new posting system would be pushed back a year ... but that could have been part of the Players Assn reluctance. What happened to the postponing the posting me don't know.
