Best Answer

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.

Yes, but he wouldn't be allowed to play for both teams in the same game. But he would be able to, for example, play in a day game for the Royals, then get traded to the Brewers and play a night game in Milwaukee.

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.

Can a baseball team trade their draft picks?

Draft picks cannot be traded. In addition, a player once drafted cannot be traded until 1 year to the day after signing. This explains a lot of times when a player is traded for a player to be named later, (Jeremy Bonderman was a player to be named later in the Jeff Weaver trade in 2003 because Bonderman signed on August 2, 2002 but Weaver was traded on July 6, 2003 so Oakland had to wait until August 2, 2003 to trade him so he was called a player to be named later)
