White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski's 10-and-5 rights kicked in on Sunday, meaning he has earned complete no-trade say on any deal.

"I don't think too much is being made of it because I have the right that if I don't want to go, I don't have to go," Pierzynski said.

"I can't just be shipped without me having a say in the matter. I don't think it's overrated at all. It's one of the great rights you have as a player. Not a lot of guys get to that point and have this opportunity, so it's not overrated at all. It's something to be proud of, something to be excited about at the same time."
