According to John Hickey, Olerud has refused to waive his no-trade clause, as his name was considered in trade talks with Boston and another, unnamed team. On a human level, I can understand this, as his son Garrett is about to start school in Seattle. On the other hand, it drives me nuts.
Other Mariners with no-trade clauses are Eddie Guardado and Scott Speizio. Can anyone with more than 3 brain cells give me a good reason why Sandfrog has a no-trade??
