White Sox Josh Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I just wanted to let people know that the Sox won't be trading Shingo. He has a full no-trade clause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirScott Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I do to but I'm willing to waive it if they trade me to anywhere on the east coast, so I can be closer to my family, which resides in Moscow, Russia (formerly the USSR...but we will return) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was his contract information from day one that i have known about. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I never heard that Shingo had a no-trade clause either. He is just making $2.5 million on a team option this year. Regardless, since when was there any trade talk regarding Shingo? From message board rumors?

White Sox Josh Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 I remember reading about it when he was signed. I think the first year was partial no-trade and the second was full no trade or it may be the other way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Jose Contreras had a full no-trade clause, and was guaranteed a playoff spot too He accepted a trade to the Sox. Not like a player on a winning team waiving their no-trade clause is completely unheard of (this if he even does have a no-trade clause) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabroni Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Different Circumstances. Jose hated New York. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not quite. The story is that Contreras didn't want to even waive his no-trade clause last year. He didn't want to leave his buddy El Duque. The rumor is that Steinbrenner threatened to throw him in the bullpen for mop-up duties if he didn't waive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 QUOTE(qwerty @ May 12, 2005 -> 11:25 PM) Totally different circumstances since he does not have one. He sure does. It was a full no-trade clause, but he said that New York didn't want him anymore and knew they weren't going to give him anymore chances. He said if someone doesn't want you in their house, then you leave. He said he likes Ozzie and that since the White Sox wanted him, that's why he waived his no trade clause. Of course El duque coming over is even better for him. See, there's way less pressure on Contreras(even if making the playoffs and stuff) because the White Sox are a low-key team and if he blows something, we'll be pissed, but we'll forgive.

If you are saying that Shingo would think that the White Sox were happy with him since they are trying to trade him, I think you would be wrong. Given, I don't think they'll trade him...even with how s***ty he has been, he is still a lovable player on the Sox, and is a media darling.

retro1983hat Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Allright allright, I know the Cubs need a closer. We'll give them Shingo stright up for Derek Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I'm not sure if they have a need for him but if the M's were interested I'm sure Shingo would be on the next flight to Seattle. There are teams I'm sure Shingo would waive the clause for. Assuming of cause such a clause exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that Shingo's arm is not burned out, and it is hard to make fun of the way Shingo looks, because he does not have a silly ass Billy-goat goatee.
