tohoku rakuten: Still, it's possible playing in a different part of Osaka ignites his career, according to The Japan Times. If it does, Orix's move will represent one of the few times the human compensation portion of NPB's free agency rules will have worked out for the team being compensated. Kaneda is 26, and nowhere near worth the current value Itoi represents. Under the current rules, which were altered in 2008, teams losing an A- or B-ranked free agent are entitled compensation from the signing team in the form of a straight cash payout or less money and a non-protected player from the signing club's roster. The Seibu Lions did that earlier in the offseason as compensation for losing ace Takayuki Kishi to the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles. Most teams take the money and run.
