Can someone tell me why he is not allowed to play in Tokyo?
I am not aware of his situation
He moved from Russia when he was 10 using a green card, and didn't have a passport. When franchising locks happened, he wasn't their 6th player then; he was just part of EG's 10-man roster, so they didn't prioritize getting him a passport because they thought he wouldn't play. He ended up playing obviously but by then it was already too late to apply for a new passport as a US citizen.
