He has a no trade clause, why wouldn't he use it if he didn't want to go there? If he was bitching because he just didn't want to be in Chicago that's one thing. He legally can veto it, so do it if you don't want to be there.

He legally can veto it, so do it if you don't want to be there. I think it's a little pathetic to be so particular about where you're going. He wants to be traded, and the only thing he doesn't like about this situation is that he's going to an AL team. Is that a legitimate complaint? To me, that's being a prima donna. You want out because your team is losing, and you get the chance to play for a team that will compete for a division title, it's just unfair to everyone involved to veto the trade. |

I'm responding to Greg saying shut up and go where you're told. I think it's stupid to veto a trade in general but he fought for it in his contract so IDC if he uses it. It's just a pathetic situation. It shouldn't have ever gotten this far. You need to know if the guy is going to accept the deal before you embarrass all parties. What the fuck? It's ridiculous. Now the White Sox look bad because they were spurned, Peavy looks like an asshole, and the Padres lost all leverage in trade talks with other teams. The market has been set for Peavy now, everyone knows he won't go to an AL team, and you don't really have to give your absolute best prospect as a center piece (Beckham didn't go). So pathetic all around.

He must have watched today's White Sox game and decided that it probably was a good idea to veto

He may have not wanted to play for ozzie as well. I've heard all along he won't play in the AL though

I just hate no trade clauses in general.
I understand the players want them and it's the clubs fault for appeasing them to get the contract done, but if I was a GM I swear I'd never give anyone a no trade or preferential trade clause. It kills you. The players are being compensated generously as is.

Actually, I can empathize with Peavy. Did'nt realize he signed an extension with SD at below market value to stay there. Even if SD only gets 70 cents on the dollar it will still probably be more than they would have got with a comp pick if he had left via FA.
