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.
