Padres' GM suspended 30 days after investigation into Pomeranz trade

Major League Baseball on Thursday announced a 30-day suspension without pay for Padres general manager A.J. Preller. The punishment was levied as the result of an investigation into the Padres' handling of medical information in the July 14 trade that sent left-hander Drew Pomeranz to the Boston Red Sox.

MLB released the following statement:

"MLB's Department of Investigations conducted the thorough review, which included interviews with relevant individuals from both Clubs. The findings were submitted to Commissioner Robert D. Manfred, Jr.

"As a result of this matter, Major League Baseball announced today that A.J. Preller, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Padres, has received a 30-day suspension without pay.

"MLB considers the matter closed and will have no further comment."
