Just an hour ago this news came in about Mark Buherle willing to waive his no trade clause depending on where he would be traded to. Smells like he may want to finally come to the Cardinals. Wainwright out for the season and now Buherle's ears perk up. Here is the skinny on the rest of the story.
Buehrle has full no-trade protection on account of being a so-called 10-and-5 player, meaning he has 10 years of service time, the five most recent of which have come with his current team, the White Sox. Buehrle said there are teams for which he wouldn't want to play and would therefore invoke his trade veto. But he also said that he would accept certain trades if one were in the best interest of the White Sox because he is on good terms with the team and owner Jerry Reinsdorf.
"They have done enough for me," Buehrle told Merkin.
Chicago, though, is considered a strong contender in the AL Central this year and is not actively interested in trading any of its starters, according to Merkin. Buehrle, in the final season of a four-year, $56MM deal, could be an attractive in-season trade target for contending teams should the White Sox get off to a slow start and fall out of the postseason picture
