MLB is looking into both the Miami-SD deal and the sox deal to get Pomeranz. We all know what happened with Rea from the Pads, but apparently some medical a weren't disclosed by the Pads about Pomeranz that has the sox in a tizzy. No specifics on Pomeranz given, but interesting none the less
Hal sucks
What would actually happen if the MLB investigated and this was proven to be true?
They could modify the trade or rescind it.Originally Posted by Jasonbay44

They should make the Padres give us Espi back and let us keep Pomeranz.
Even this far after the fact? That's interesting... I wonder what Sox would do.
No, they can't. They cannot re-do the trade unless San Diego agrees to remodel the deal. What MLB can do is fine them and take away draft picks
The fair thing's giving us those draft picks.
I don't think we know the answer to that. Being an old guy, I can remember when Joe Rudi & Rollie fingers were supposed to come to the Red Sox and the Commissioner vetoed the sale because it wasn't in the best interest of the game. I'm now wondering how long the Commissioner's arm is in regards to trades or sales.
If I'm the Padres my concern is that other teams may now be reluctant to trade with the Pads because they may be developing a reputation for dealing with "damaged goods".
It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star game and the Old Timer's game.

So we gave up our #1 pitching prospect for a pitcher who may be damaged goods. Not sure what the medical issue is, but going forward if it's serious, I'll be pissed if MLB doesn't take big steps. We should get Esp. back and send them back someone else. I'm not sure if a trade can be voided out, but if it's a big issue serious penalties should be hammered down.
We already knew we might need to treat Pomeranz with kid gloves. Unless it's an elbow or a risk of TJ, i'm not too concerned.
If history tells us anything, the path to redeption for any bad baseball team is marked with a deep rotation of durable starters, a world class defense in both infield and outfield, a lineup that can generate runs in more than one way, a bullpen that won't steal defeat from the jaws of victory, and a top end catcher to hold the whole package together. These are the conditions by which victory is achieved, anything that does not accomplish these objectives is a waste of resources.
If the story by Olney is accurate, the issue with Pomeranz must be minor, because the Sox aren't looking for any modifications.
Giving up Esp. for him I'm real concerned and pissed. We'll have to see what the issue is.
That doesn't surprise me. It better be minor.
Esp is gone, let him go. It does us no good to fixate on a Padres prospect. Judge Pomeranz based on Pomeranz.

Just give him on loan until November.
