Jays’ Delgado refuses to waive no-trade clause

Carlos Delgado said Friday that he won’t waive his no-trade clause, preferring instead to stay in Toronto to finish the final year of his $64 million contract.

General manager J.P. Ricciardi asked Delgado last week if he would be willing to be traded. The slugger gave his answer before the Blue Jays played at Texas.

“When I walked out of that office (Saturday), I said I was going to think about it, go home to talk to my family and my agent. That’s what I did,” Delgado said. “This is where I wanted to be. So this is the decision that I made.”

Delgado is eligible for free agency this fall, and is earning $18.5 million this season to end a four-year deal.
