I have no fear of being quoted on this. It's not one of the first 20 times a trade or signing has been killed because of a physical evalutaion. Could it potentially be scummy and/or convenient? Yes. But, a deal's not a deal until it's signed. I expect the deal was signed, but they're generally signed pending a physical. I hope Grant files a grievance. This smells very fishy.

MikeT14 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 It's good to know the Ravens and Orioles use the same doctors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not allowed to have sane reactions here. If the guy you intend to pay a lot of money to fails their physical then you're supposed to sign them anyway on principle..forget your doctors, what will public opinion be!

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Don't know, don't care. We dodged a freaking bullet. I'm halfway convinced someone broke this dude's leg or something on his way to get a physical once they learned what the contract numbers were.

The O's have largely been vindicated on their physicals. Balfour, one of the most notable examples, sucked terribly with the team he went to, largely thought to be because of a lingering injury.

There is no way to enforce that a team can't make it's own medical decisions because other medical opinions disagree. And I'm assuming the worst of the Ravens org in this scenario.

Well, there actually is. That's why the grievance system exists. The Ravens can't act in bad faith. I'd waste my time with it just out of spite.

There's a reason contracts are "pending physical," no? If it was merely a formality, it wouldn't be a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schefter's language indicates that the contract was signed if it's "null and void." Do you have a source saying they never signed anything?

It isn't unusual for players to fail physicals and no one bats an eye. You two are fundamentally misunderstand what people are questioning here, or being deliberately obtuse. The belief is that there really isn't any reason to fail him and they did it only to not honor the contract because Crabtree unexpectedly became a FA.

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Are we really assuming foul play here? I thought it was common knowledge that contracts are all pending physicals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
