Good morning baseball fans!
Major League Baseball is investigating the Padres to determine whether they provided adequate medical information in a pair of trades:
Olney’s most interesting revelation is that Boston has “become aware of medical information with Pomeranz that they believe was not properly disclosed in trade talks.” Pomeranz has made four starts for Boston, and despite posting a 6.20 ERA over 20.1 innings, has not shown any signs of injury to this point. The lefty dealt with some shoulder trouble last season with the Athletics, but has been healthy to this point this season.
Jeremy Hellickson is among the names to watch in advance of the waiver trade deadline.
Mark Teixeira announced his plan to retire at the end of the season.
One Oakland employee was caught spying on players in the weight room, according to Yahoo Sports’ Tim Brown.
