Nippon Professional Baseball acting commissioner Yasuchika Negoro accepted the Orix Buffaloes' formal complaint on the Jeremy Powell issue on Wednesday and said he will work to reach a verdict in the matter.
The Buffaloes and Fukuoka SoftBank are squabbling over Powell, who signed contracts first with Orix and--because he thought he was yet unsigned--later with the Hawks.
Orix wants the Pacific League to recognize its contract as valid and has refused to accept a resolution from the PL and allow the 31-year-old right-hander to go to the Hawks.
Negoro plans to talk to PL chief Tadao Koike and officials from both clubs--if necessary--before rendering a decision.
