Did the Boston Red Sox get scammed in a recent deal with the San Diego Padres? The issue was the release of complete medical information on the players being exchanged and that is SOP, or standard operating procedure, in baseball and occasionally there is a problem when questions arise – in this case, the trade of Drew Pomeranz for the Red Sox most prominent pitching prospect, Anderson Espinoza.
The Miami Marlins and San Diego Padres recently had a transaction nullified when a player traded had some injury concerns and that is indeed somewhat rare since the deal had already been consummated – a reversal of fortune.
