Wow. Berkman says he'll waive his no-trade clause, and Carlos Lee says he could retire when his contract is up, approximately three years after the earth crashes into the sun:
“I don’t know if I’m going to play after this contract. I’m ready to go home. Maybe on my last year if I still have a love for the game and I still feel like I can play, I will probably come back. As of right now, me and my family have plans to finish up here in Houston. I want to be able to spend time with my kids (two sons and two daughters) while they’re still young. I want to enjoy that.”
Anyone notice what he did there? I'll paste it again:
...As of right now, me and my family have plans to finish up here in Houston.
So, I'm guessing he isn't willing to waive that no-trade clause.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
