I think if you had one team in Japan it would be difficult to justify the travel, but if you had a division of five teams then a trip over there could be for a several weeks where you played each team and it becomes more palatable. But as MLB continues to try and throw things at the growth wall to chase the mythical new fan in North America, there's a massive, ready made, basically risk-free market waiting to be exploited. Might still be another 20 years from now before it is even considered, but the care level for baseball in Japan is clearly several levels higher than here, at some point I imagine it'll be explored.
