What happened: A.J. Greer's contract carries a 10-team no-trade clause that runs over the full term of the deal, per Pagnotta. The provision lets Greer block trades to a set list of clubs while leaving the rest of the league open.

Why it matters: Partial no-trade protection shapes how easily a player can be moved and how much leverage he holds in any deal. A 10-team clause is limited protection, giving the same A.J. Greer whose rights changed hands this offseason a say over a portion of possible destinations without locking down every option.

What to watch: Watch whether the clause factors into any roster or trade discussions as clubs shape their books heading into the 2026-27 season.
