My god there are some really ignorant and inexperienced players answering the OPs post in this thread. Its guys like them that ideas like this are needed.
A no trade option is already in game so effectively if signed that way the player already denounces all and any trades. No one seems to think this is a stupid idea because it is in game already. Now having an option to over ride the trade is a standard and normal thing in every professional sport where players can be traded. Of course it is not written into the contract but the manager and player/agent are intelligent humans and can sit down and over ride the agreement if the desire need be. This would also clear up a little problem of a GM screwing over teams by trading away all the players when the owner's back is turned.
I cant for the life of me figure out why some people say this is stupid because it gives the player power over the owner. If the owner doesnt want that as part of the original contract he doesn't have to sign the player (see what I did there? I flipped the common answer of "you signed the contract" and put it on the owner).
And if most of you guys would get your heads out of your asses you will see the player has zero power and most likely if the player rejected the trade he will be ridding the pines the rest of the season.
Also if you do not like the idea of an option to override the trade then as an owner you do not have to use this contract feature and as a player you can refuse to sign the offered contract.
I am all for this idea but Bort needs to find away for owners/teams to be penalized for benching rotting players first as this woulds just give immature owners another reason to screw over a player.
