Well, that's the Buehrle camp idea - it's not a full No-Trade Clause like he originally wanted, but it's certainly a trade deterrent.
If Buehrle stays healthy and effective (and signs point to yes, since has zero injury history and he's not a flamethrower), in 5 years, $17 million for a top-tier lefty could be a bargain.
