Hunter willing to waive clause if Cubs pursue a trade

[indycub]

Torii says yes to Fenway

Jun 14 - Torii Hunter has removed the Red Sox as one of the teams in the no-trade clause portion of his current contract, according to a report in the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Hunter, in the final year of his contract with the Twins, said that he would waive the clause if Boston were to pursue a trade for him this season.

 

"I'm not a big fan of the angles of the outfield fence [at Fenway Park]," Hunter told the paper. "My thing is defense, and if I can't play defense, then I've got nothing. But the ballpark itself is OK. Boston's aura and David Ortiz, trust me, those are the positives."

 

Last year, Hunter added the Cubs to the list of five teams in his no-trade clause because of the brick outfield wall at Wrigley Field. But he said he would waive the clause for the Cubs, too.

 

Hunter said he would not approve a trade to the other teams: Detroit, Tampa Bay and Toronto.
