israel4ever Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Did you ever wonder why, when a major league ballplayer has a no-trade clause, and lists teams that he would play for, that the Whitesox are NEVER one of the teams he'd play for? Why do you think that is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSteve Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Nope, never wondered. I do wonder how they get the cream filling inside of a twinkee, now there's a mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsoxs1 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Yea I wondered that before and the answer: When is the last time the WS have won a WS or a Playoff series in that. Players with no trade clauses only want to go to winning teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Players with no trade clauses only want to go to winning teams. Which is exactly why Troy Percival has a no-trade clause to both New York teams and both Canadien teams, and why, for Brian Giles, San Diego was on his list of teams he did not have to waive his no-trade clause. It is not always about winning, whether or not we want to admit it. Sometimes it is about playing close to home, sometimes it's about not wanting to go to a city, and sometimes it's about winning.

cwsox Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 there is no way that we have any idea of whether this is true or not we need to have all the contracts that have no trade clauses in them and then need to look at which teams are named - since we have no idea of what is in those contracts other than the occasional deal that surfaces, this topic is based on one huge assumption that no one knows what percentage validity it has if it has any at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I think it mostly revolves around personal issues, when players have families they want to have plans as to where they are going and want to be compensated if they waive these clauses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 ever wonder why the sox were 9th in ticket prices and somewhere around 25th in salary??? Not the reason why, but I would guess a lot of those ticket sales came from half-off nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
