Several players have a no trade clause in their contract.
I guess he just wanted to be a part of a winning team.

Gagne wants a chance to win a World Series, so he agreed to lift his no trade clause, so he could come to Boston (who's in 1st place) and have a chance at winning a World Series.

When you see that the club has a young closer, that could have been a major reason. And he waived the no-trade to go to the Red Sox. He possibly wanted clarification on his role with the club before accepting the deal.
