ThunderBolt Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 QUOTE (rangercal @ May 21, 2009 -> 12:00 PM) Does anyone know any big names who exercised their no trade clause in the past? I am preparing for a major heart break and don't want to feel alone. Jim Edmonds to our Sox i believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baines3 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I'm not holding my breath on him agreeing to come to the Sox. If he does come he would be a big help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â If he doesn't waive his NTC, does this do anything to his reputation? Does he look like a selfish jackass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am preparing for a major heart break and don't want to feel alone. Â I think Phil Nevin did it a couple years ago. However, I'd hardly consider him a big name. However, oddly enough, he was with the Padres when he declined a trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am preparing for a major heart break and don't want to feel alone. Recently with the White Sox, Jim Edmonds and Carlos Delgado. I know Rafael Palmiero rejected a trade to the Cubs a year or so before he was busted. It happens a lot but is not publicized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, oddly enough, he was with the Padres when he declined a trade.I wonder if the fact that this deal is publicized has to do with the chances of Peavy accepting, or just the big name attached to the deal. I also wonder if Peavy is more likely to accept knowing that the whole world knows about the trade now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
