Seibu Lions captain Hiroyuki Nakajima said Tuesday that he plans to take another shot at playing in the majors next offseason, this time as a free agent.

"I've moved on," Nakajima said, after re-signing with the Lions for ¥280 million plus incentives. "It is what is. There's nothing I can do anymore.

"If the opportunity comes around again, I want to take it. It just wasn't meant to be this time."
