Yeah, NPB is very very unbalanced with the Giants dominating everybody. Giants boss Tsuneo Watanabe is a way worse character than anything you can ever say about Steinbrenner. He systematically influence the league, using the leverage that half of Japan is consist of Giants fans, to the benefit of his team. He butted heads with the union all the time, and forced contractions. He was also caught bribing amateur players. The reason NPB has free agency was actually due to an extended period of time of the Giants not winning the championships, and Watanabe wants to find new ways to buy players. Before that, he only got to buy prospects.
