CTA513 Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 The Reds finally filed a grievance against the Nationals. [quote][b]Reds file grievance against Nats[/b] Dispute claims reliever Majewski was damaged goods By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com CLEVELAND -- The Reds have formally filed a grievance against the Nationals in a nearly year-long dispute that alleges damaged goods were received when they acquired reliever Gary Majewski. According to sources of the Washington Post, Major League officials have begun speaking with people from both teams regarding the case. "We're looking into the matter," MLB spokesman Mike Teevan told the Post on Friday. "There's no firm deadline by which we have to reach a decision." On July 13, 2006, Majewski, reliever Bill Bray, shortstop Royce Clayton and two Minor Leaguers were acquired by the Reds in an eight-player trade that sent outfielder Austin Kearns, shortstop Felipe Lopez and reliever Ryan Wagner to the Nationals. Shortly after the deal was made, Majewski went on the disabled list with right shoulder inflammation. He later revealed that he had a sore shoulder from the start of the last season and received a cortisone injection from the Washington medical staff not long before the trade was executed. At the time, Reds general manager Wayne Krivsky alleged that the Nationals and GM Jim Bowden did not provide full disclosure about Majewski's medical issue. When reached on Friday night, Krivsky declined comment. Bowden also declined to comment on the story. In 65 appearances last season with Washington and Cincinnati, Majewski was 4-4 with a 4.61 ERA. With the Reds, the 27-year-old was 1-2 with an 8.40 ERA. Majewski has continued to have shoulder issues this year and did not begin throwing with the team at the start of Spring Training. He has been with Triple-A Louisville all season and is 1-1 with a 5.54 ERA in 13 games. He resumed pitching on Wednesday for the first time since May 1 after he missed time because of a death in the family and later, a recurrence of shoulder soreness from throwing after being inactive for several days.

Guest mongoloido Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 If the Reds win this, it might just open the door for fans to file a grievance against the Reds for selling us a damaged team night in and night out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
