The player to be named later is wrong. If a player thinks he will be sent to a contender at the trading deadline, will his play against that team be affected before the trade?

However, rumors are rumors and if the player is going to pay closer heed to rumors than their actual job, they're too sensitive. Do your job for today, worry about tomorrow when it comes.

RIght about Koppett. He was a fine writer and the thinking man's guide to baseball, but he could be wrong
I didn't want to discuss incentive, but that is another aspect of the game that creates problems.
In Santana's case, it was in the off season, but he demanded the trade and knew, or at least hoped, he wouldn't be with the Twins this year.Baseball articles you might not like but should read.

There was speculation that Randy Johnson played worse to force us to trade him. I can't say one way or another, but it is a little suspicious.

I don't really think that this is a major problem at all. Normally, the "player to be named later" is chosen at the target club's discretion from a group of players agreed upon in the initial deal. Usually, these guys are minor leaguers. There's a clause in these deals that requires the players to switch leagues. It's easy to get by this if the player doesn't even play in the majors. I remember that David Ortiz and Jeremy Bonderman were traded in this fashion, but I really can't think of anybody else who's played a significant role after these deals.

The classic PTBNL is no threat to anything. The players involved are nondescript who barely exceed the value of a bag of balls.
Now players doing things to effect or force trades is a different animal as you frequently have players of substance involved in this. During the off-season it is not an integrity issue as no games are being played. During the season you have humans involved so anything can occur. I no of no way to eliminate that.Buck O'Neil: The Monarch of Baseball
