MLB still investigating Reds' grievance against Nationals
http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?...=.jsp&c_id=mlb
It has been months since the Reds filed a grievance against the Nationals. The latter is accused of giving Cincinnati damaged goods when they acquired right-hander Gary Majewski in an eight-player trade that sent outfielder Austin Kearns, infielder Felipe Lopez and reliever Ryan Wagner to Washington on July 13, 2006. There still is an ongoing investigation on the matter, according to Joe Garagiola Jr., senior vice president of baseball operations for MLB. "There is nothing to report on the Majewski situation. The case is not closed. There has not been a decision," Garagiola said. "I would like to think we are in the final stages of our fact gathering and then we will proceed to make our recommendations." Garagiola did not give a timetable as to when a decision will be made.

Re: MLB still investigating Reds' grievance against Nationals
Honestly, how long does it take to figure this out. They can't still be getting any new evidence.

Re: MLB still investigating Reds' grievance against Nationals
What is the possible reward if the Reds win the grievance?

Re: MLB still investigating Reds' grievance against Nationals
I don't think the Warren Commission took this long to come up with a decision.

Re: MLB still investigating Reds' grievance against Nationals
The Reds did a trade with the Nationals?
Golly, I must have missed it. Was there any discussion here?

Re: MLB still investigating Reds' grievance against Nationals
The larger problem is still that the Reds acquired Gary Majewski when they acquired Gary Majewski. Can I file a grievance with MLB about that?

of saying 'make our decision'. I really doubt this case is a slam dunk against Washington. If it was, you'd think the Reds would've filed the grievance in a timely matter. Instead, Wayne spent almost an entire year doing fact gathering. Now MLB is doing its own 'fact gathering'. My guess is that they are waiting for everyone to forget about it. Isn't that Bud's typical strategy? Ignore the problem and hope it goes away? That was his strategy for the steroid problem. I doubt MLB wants to sanction Washington. I also don't think MLB wants Wayne to look any more foolish by siding with Washington. MLB is in a no win situation here. In all seriousness, I wonder if they are waiting for Wayne's tenure as GM to be up. If they think Wayne might be fired after this season, it makes sense to wait until then to announce a pro-Washington ruling (if that's what they intend to do). Likewise, if they think Bowden is on the edge of being fired, they may want to wait until he leaves as well. I wonder if Bowden will relive Cincy's new stadium thing.. if he'll be expected to bring an instant contender to Washington and then be blamed when the impossible doesn't happen.

 It's a good thing fans aren't allowed to file grievances against their favorite clubs. MLB's front office would get flooded with them. |
