The Miami Marlins are shipping newly acquired right-hander Colin Rea back to the San Diego Padres after he only pitched 3 1/3 innings with Miami before getting injured.
Rea was acquired Friday in a seven-player trade with the Padres that also sent right-hander Andrew Cashner to Miami. The Marlins are keeping Cashner and sending Rea back in a new deal.
The Marlins get pitching prospect Luis Castillo back, who was in the original deal for Rea.
I’m a bit surprised by this. Teams are supposed to do due diligence before a trade, and if a player gets injured right away, too bad. It turns out the Padres didn’t really want to trade Rea.
Sources on Monday said the Padres believed they had traded a completely healthy Rea to the Marlins. One source said the Padres felt it was best to essentially re-work the original deal with the Marlins, adding that San Diego had been reluctant to deal Rea in the first place.
