Good question, do you think that outside of player or agent provoked trades that teams say anything to players? I don't think so. This offseason both Josh Donaldson and Brett Lawrie (and the filler) said they had no clue until it happened. In 2012 the announcement of the Marlins Jays deal was delayed initially because some players were not near cell phones.

So to be realistic we should have some idea of what % of deals occur with full player knowledge.
