But what has changed since when MLB found out about it last Summer? I’m surprised Padres aren’t getting more heat for continuing to pitch him. One of the things that still baffles me is how this scumbag negotiated in good faith with a new organization, knowing this would come out and tarnish the new team.

It’s going to be so awkward when Clevinger is participating in Spring Training as if everything is fine. Doesn’t sound like the Sox have many options to sit him down.

So is it true more people are coming out to say Clevinger abused them?

Yep, way to get off to a trusting start with your new employer

You know you can’t wait for your boy Benetti to mention Naperville 100 times a game

You wouldn’t believe the stories that are out there about baseball players and infidelity.

Doesn’t bat lefty

My spidey senses tells me this is very possible. Seems like this is what Nightengale was hinting at.

And the Padres knowing is the competitive advantage that shouldn’t exist. Imagine if this was a bigger name/price free agent that a team based their entire offseason around.

2021 deadline was the beginning of the end

I actually wonder if this results in changes to the CBA down the road. If a team knew about a free agent possibly getting suspended while others didn’t, it could lead to a competitive advantage.

Sampson from the Cubs is supposedly available. Would rather see him than Martin, and cost shouldn’t be too much. If they got out of Clev’s deal, a trade for Carrasco would make a lot of sense.

Absolutely nothing, that’s why it’s so dumb when he gets blamed.

Yeah, it’s been mentioned on here for quite a while that “Kenny always gets his guy” when it’s a minority the Sox acquire. It’s obviously stupid, but just part of the Hahn excuse train.

Yep just seems like bad luck for the Sox.

If it was a minority, people would say KW wanted the player

Remember how the rumors were so bad the Sox front office had to get permission from the players to pursue him via trade?

We were finishing in 3rd with or without him. It’s just one more massive hole on a team with plenty of them.

I can’t imagine how pissed off MLB is that this broke today

I don’t think for a second the Sox would have signed him if they knew about this. Tony and his friendship with Jerry is one thing.

It’s so stupid but I bet there are rules about MLB telling teams about active investigations. I know they don’t tell teams right away with PED failures.

All it takes is one team letting a writer know they were aware of it, and the Sox are going to look even worse.

Hahn’s just happy he can hide behind the investigation and not have to speak to the media.

How has this investigation been going on half a year?

I basically hate every possible aspect of this organization. I will still root for guys like Eloy and Schultz, but holy s%*# is it a joke.
