The San Diego Padres could face discipline from Major League Baseball amid accusations that they improperly withheld information from an MLB-wide injury database.
ESPN.com reports MLB is wrapping up an investigation into the Padres' potential manipulation of the system to improve their leverage in trade talks after at least four teams complained to the commissioner's office about San Diego's practices.
According to the report, the Red Sox, White Sox, Marlins and an unnamed fourth team objected to the Padres apparently withholding medical information on players from the central repository teams use to evaluate potential trades.
