Elephant Rumblings: KBO and NPB are landing spots for locked out players in a lurch

Happy Thursday, Athletics Nation!

There is no Major League Baseball on the horizon any time soon, and the daily lockout bargaining meetings have evaporated after this week’s deadline drama. As the smoke clears from the cancelling of Opening Day, and ambiguity rises from the fact that it could be anywhere from a month to a year until we see the green-and-gold on the field again, we will have to soldier on and pay attention to the other errata around the baseball world.

One interesting facet to keep an eye on is the players’ ability to play in leagues not affiliated with MLB.
