Maybe! But the ones good enough to get a lot of money there are good enough to have a likely MLB career and a huge signing bonus that they'd be throwing away.

I just looked up the Japanese and Korean teams have a limit on the number of foreign players they can sign. I'm sure plenty of Milb players would happily go there for 100k-200k salaries, but those teams wont waste their limited spots on lower level players.
