Jose de Jesus Ortiz reports that Roy Oswalt will veto a trade to the White Sox:
Because Bill Scherrer, a special assistant to White Sox GM Kenny Williams, has been at the Astros’ last two series, there has been quite a bit of speculation nationally regarding the possibility of Oswalt landing with the White Sox a few weeks after Oswalt’s good friend Jake Peavy refused a trade to the White Sox.
Oswalt isn’t talking publicly about any trade speculation, but the Chronicle has learned that Oswalt would invoke his no-trade clause if the White Sox attempted to acquire him.
Oswalt has a no-trade clause, and if he ever waived it to go play in Chicago it would be with the Cubs and not the White Sox.
I wonder why these NL pitchers are so loathe to move to the White Sox? Is it the park? Is it the designated hitter? Is it the manager?
