Oh, I get and pretty much agree with what you say here. My main reason for quoting you was just to state that I'm not exactly sure if DD contacted MLB or if it may have been the other way around. Or if once the Padres knew that they were fucked because of the Colin Rea deal maybe they reached out to DD as to try to lessen the blowback from this. McAdam hadn't touched on that when he was on T&R. I'm wondering if the 30 day suspension is just an initial starting point pending further investigation into the way San Diego conducts trades or any other transactions (DFAs, releases, etc..). I'm guessing they have to provide suitable medical history to teams that might be interested in those players as well. Presently we're only talking about the deals with Boston, Miami and the ChiSox, right? The Padres have made other deals this season, most notably Melvin Upton Jr. and Matt Kemp. Not saying that either the Braves or Blue Jays have a beef here, but guessing that MLB has to dig deeper into any transactions made during the Preller era.
