Well in my opinion this is sheer bloody-mindedness. I'm not sure Furata would have come up with anything so provocative. NPB has agreed to change the system. It's going to take effect next year, which is a whole lot sooner than most reforms take to be implemented in Japan. What more do they want?
Of course if it's an empty threat and Miyamoto is simply huffing and puffing away, then he and the association will come out of this with diminished credibility. Not a good way to obtain benefits for your members. You've got to pick your battles. And when you get what you want, just shut up.

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

Miyamoto attacked NPB for the failures to eliminate the kibowaku system by saying:Thank goodness someone gets it, the league for sure doesn't realize it, or is doing a good job at hiding it.
Switching back to the possibility of a Climax Series boycott, the Nippon Series should still happen, as both first place teams from both leagues would advance automatically to the Series.
