Nolasco no-trade clause

[ashbury]

According to MLB Trade Rumors, Ricky Nolasco's no-trade list was updated for the coming off-season.  According to the source, he can pick 3 and they are all AL "large market" teams; NY and Boston were named.  Anyone have insight into the third team?  Angels would fit my idea of large market, but Ricky was born in Corona so would he be averse to playing there?  According to Forbe's Magazine's often-cited article, Texas would rank as the third highest AL franchise value, while Detroit would be third in the AL in revenue.  I can't decide on an obvious third team.  Is there any clear information out there? Or lacking that, what's your speculation?

Large Market has to do with the area, and not how much $ the franchise is worth, or how well it is drawing.

Chicago.

Meh he's pitching this year for the Twins like it or not so its irrevelant.

Nolasco just went up in my estimation, if it is true he'd refuse to play for those guys.

[PseudoSABR]

No trade clauses often have to do with increased bargaining power not necessarily playing preference. If it's more the former, you can imagine why they'd select the largest markets.

If they can swing a trade to LA, I'd be happy

I suspect he is on several teams "no trade" lists also
