Halladay Could Demand A Trade After The Season If Traded
By Mike Axisa [July 17, 2009 at 7:12pm CST]
Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reminds us of a rarely used rule that could possibly
come into play if Roy Halladay is moved before this year's trade deadline. If
a player signed a multi-year extension before October 2006 and is traded
during the life of the contract, the player can then demand a trade during
the offseason. If the team falls to trade the player by March 15th, he
becomes a free agent. Halladay signed a three year, $40MM extension in March
of '06.
Javier Vazquez is the only player to take advantage of this rule in recent
years, when he demanded a trade out of Arizona following the 2005 season.
Since he already has a no trade clause it's unlikely Halladay will end up
with a team he doesn't want to play for, but he could use this rule as
leverage to get a contract extension after the season. That last part is just
speculation on my part, though.
