Yes, you did. Any player with a no-trade clause (or five-and-ten player) always has the option of waiving it, and they frequently do.
I assume you're also aware of the forced-trade clause. If a player signed to a contract that extends past the end of the current season is traded, at the end of the season he has until the free agent registration deadline to demand to be traded. If he's traded after the end of the regular season, his contract would have to extend past the end of the following season for it to count.
As an example, if the Florida Marlins sign Carlos Delgado to a five year contract, then trade him to the New York Mets during the fourth (or any earlier) season of that contract, at the end of the season during which he was traded, Carlos can demand that the Mets trade him. In earlier versions of the MLB/Players' Association agreement, he could declare free agency instead.
In answer to your quick question, my suggestion would be to either set the no-trade date equal to the amateur draft date, or a quarter of the season prior to the trade deadline, or make the date Commissioner-settable, as the other two are. Don't overthink it.

But really all I want to do is play.
So I'll try harder to be patient and hopefully the board will be patient with me.

And yes, I am still continuing my campaign to promote adding a 'mass select' option to Out of the Park 10.
