Is Major League Baseball reserve clause fair or not?
Not. The reserve clause stated that after a player's contract had expired, the team had the right to 'reserve' the player's services for as long as they desired. If the player and team could not agree on a contract, the player could not go to another team because his current team held exclusive rights to him. This meant players had no free agency and could not get fair market value for their services. Think about it. You sign a contract to work for a company for two years. After the contract expires, you want to work for another company. But you can't do that because the company you signed the original contract with still holds exclusive rights to your services even though you don't have a current signed contract with them. That's the reserve clause.
What is a player option in Major League Baseball?
'Player Option' is a term for a clause written into a player's contract that allows the player to extend the length of the contract for one year at a predetermined salary.If the player decides not to extend the contract, or 'pickup the option', the contract ends and the player becomes a free agent and can negotiate a new contract with any team.Just like a player option, contracts may also contain a 'team option'. This is a clause written into a contract similar to the player option except the team gets to decide whether they would like to extend the player's contract by one year for a predetermined salary.
Can a baseball player be traded when they do not want to?
In MLB, that would depend on the player's contract, how long the player has been in the league and how long the player has played with the team that is trying to trade him. A player can negotiate a no trade clause in his contract which would not allow the team to trade him. Of course, the player could choose to waive the no trade clause, usually for compensation from his team, which would allow him to be traded. Any player who has been in MLB for ten full seasons and played with his current team for five full seasons may not be traded without his consent. You might hear these players being referred to as 'ten five' players. If a player does not have a no trade clause in his contract or is not a 'ten five' player, he made be traded without his permission.

Why were baseball players paid so little before 1900?
Other than the obvious, that the dollar could buy more in 1900 than it can today, the main reason was something called the 'reserve clause'. The reserve clause was a standard paragraph in every player's contract that stated when the contract had expired the team 'reserved' the rights to the player. This meant that, although the player was not under contract with the team, they could not negotiate with other teams because their rights had been reserved by the team they played for. Since the players were not able to negotiate freely, they had no leverage when it came to negotiating contracts because the only team they could negotiate with was the team that held their previous contract. The only way a player could go to another team was by being traded or being released (cut) by the team that held their contract or reserved their rights. This kept salaries at a minimum. The reserve clause was struck down in arbitration after the 1975 season and the era of free agency began.
What does it mean when a baseball player is put on reserve on a baseball roster?
When a club designates a player for assignment, it allows the club to open up a roster spot while it figures out what it is going to do with a player. Most often a player is designated for assignment so the club can open up his roster spot while they wait for him to clear waivers. A club may also designate a player for assignment while they try to trade him to another club.
Did Lou Gehrig have been asked to be on another team besides the Yankees for more money?
The freedoms that today's baseball players have were not in existence when Lou Gehrig played. There was a rule back then called the 'reserve clause' which allowed a team to 'reserve' the rights of a player once that player's contract expired. Because of this, players were not able to negotiate with other teams when their contracts expired and there was no free agency like there is today. The only way Lou could have played for another team was if the Yankees traded him or released him.

What is the Difference between no movement and no trade clause in hockey?
A no-trade clause requires a player's consent before a trade involving that player is made. If a player has a no-movement clause, the player cannot be traded, waived, or sent down to the minors without that player's approval. In both cases, however, a player is not protected from being bought out by the player's current team.

Who has contested the status quo in sports?
In MLB, Curt Flood of the St. Louis Cardinals in 1969 and Andy Messersmith of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1975. In 1969, there was no free agency in any American sport. Immediately following the 1969 season, Curt Flood was traded by the Cardinals to the Philadelphia Phillies. He refused to report to the Phillies and in a letter to then Commissioner Bowie Kuhn stated that while the Phillies had tendered a contract offer to him, since he was not under contract to any team that he should be allowed to contact other teams to see if they would be interested in having him play for them. This, by the day's standards, was impossible due to what was known as the reserve clause. The reserve clause was a standard paragraph in every player's contract that stated the team reserved the right to the player's services once the player's contract expired. The reserve clause made free agency impossible. Commissioner Kuhn told Flood he could not become a free agent due to the reserve clause that was in the contract he signed, the contract that had since expired. Flood filed a lawsuit against Kuhn and Major League Baseball in early 1970 alleging that the reserve clause violated Federal Antitrust Laws concerning wage negotiation and freedom to move from one employer to another. The case eventually went to the U.S. Supreme Court where the court, expectedly, ruled in favor of MLB. While this ruling was a blow to the players, it did not stop them from continuing to push for free agency. Finally in 1975 Messersmith, a pitcher, and the Dodgers could not agree on a contract. He played the 1975 season without a contract, by means of the reserve clause that the team held over him. All Messersmith did in the 1975 season was win 19 games, lead the National League in starts (40), innings pitched (321 2/3), and complete games (19). He was selected to the All-Star team and awarded a Gold Glove. Messersmith filed a grievance over the issue that went to arbitration. In late 1975, a Federal arbitrator ruled in favor of the grievance and that Messersmith was free to negotiate with other teams because a team could not reserve a player's services indefinitely without a contract. The reserve clause was dead and free agency was born.

What is a no trade clause in baseball?
A 'no trade clause' is a section in a player's contract that specifies the player cannot be traded to another team or specifies the teams that a player can be traded to. Some players have in their contracts that they cannot be traded. This means the player will play the entire length of the contract for that team. Some players have in their contracts that they may be traded only to certain teams. For example, a player may say he can only be traded to the Yankees, Dodgers, or Red Sox but to no other team.
