The Boston Red Sox made a controversial trade with the San Diego Padres, but they’re not backing down from it.
The Red Sox acquired Drew Pomeranz from the Padres, but San Diego didn’t disclose medical records properly. However, the Red Sox were offered the chance to rescind the trade, which they refused, according to commissioner Rob Manfred.

Forearm issues have relegated Pomeranz to bullpen duty, and we know the Red Sox were very unhappy with how the Padres handled medicals. They were, apparently, still comfortable enough to stand by the deal.
