Mark Buehrle was willing to go forward and make a deal with the White Sox that didn't include a no-trade clause, but his overture was rejected.

Now it appears that his contract talks have broken down for good, and he may soon be traded.

"Mark loves playing for the White Sox," said Jeff Berry, Buehrle's agent, on Saturday night. "He has the utmost respect for everybody in the organization. In an effort to bridge the contractual impasse, Mark offered a sensible alternative to the full no-trade clause. Those alternatives were rejected, and Mark hopes for resolution before the second half."
