No trade clauses are not because the player cares about team stability. It is for personal reasons. Either they want to settle down with their family or they want to prevent being traded to a team that they don't want to go to. Except for the rare exception, Gwynn, Brett, and a handful of others, there is no team loyalty in major league baseball. This is not a knock. It's just the way it is.
