Should we trade Suppan?

[Weirdos19]

I wonder, with all of the big money going to starters, and the extra starters we have, do we trade Suppan?

 

A number of teams could and would talke on 3yr/32mil of Suppan instead of paying what the other FA starters will want this year. Does Suppan have a no trade clause?

[PaulRigdon]

yes...and there is no way this team even entertains the idea of trading suppan

He has a No trade clause that runs through 2008...then look for him to be traded in the offseason then, I think that was the orginal plan..because then if Sheets proves himself healthy then he gets resigned with the Suppan money coming off the books with a trade.

That's assuming we don't have to take on salary when trading Suppan. He doesn't have a no trade clause after 2008? That's strange.

Nope thats why when we signed him most experts felt that he was basically here for 2 years because then we can shed that salary to help pay Sheets...

Thats correct but it is limited - He can veto 8 teams

Are you sure because I remember people making a big deal that there was not even a limited one...

 

but I will check on that..

[erbacaine04]

Yep you are right it is a partial and can block 8 teams...
