UCFKNIGHT Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Can Detroit possibly get the Austin Meadows trade nullified? I believe the Tampa Bay rays knew Austin Meadows suffered and is suffering from vertigo. Once again; Al Avila didn’t do his research before making a trade. For the second time; it appears the Rays fleeced the Tigers for a second time. The Rays got the better results in the David Price trade.

He got an ear infection in Houston and that did it. He may never play again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Sonics Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I had vertigo for a short time after a sinus infection. If I stood up too quickly it's like someone turned the room sideways, but only if I got up quickly, if I took a second, took a good luck at the room and oriented myself, I was fine. It really sucked, though. Went away in about 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sports_Freak Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I used to get inner-ear infections. They were horrible, dizzy spells and fevers. Used to last a good week or so. I feel for Austin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a good trade. It was good because after 7 years of being the GM of this team, they didn't have enough outfielders after Riley Greene got hurt. So they needed Meadows and gave up an infielder they didn't need. Meadows was not sick when the season started, and in fact was one of the few guys hitting the ball until the Houston trip, when he got the ear/sinus infection. There was no way anyone could have predicted the guy would suffer from vertigo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtutiger Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Saying that the "Rays knew he had vertigo when they traded him" seems like a good enough litmus test as to whether to take someone seriously or not. Just idiocy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCFKNIGHT Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 I have always liked Austin Meadows. A major league player a team can put in their lineup each day. In the NBA, NHL and NFL, trades can be nullified if a player is injured and the trading team knew about it. I was just wondering if MLB had any rules regarding trading injured players?

If he had vertigo then, he would not have been hitting .300 and if you take a look. He was hitting .299 going into the Houston series. After Houston he hit .200. He missed 2 games in Houston because he was sick, that's when it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerb Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I can't remember which game it was this season - I want to say it was in LA, or our first series in Minnesota - Meadows was tracking a ball backwards, misjudged where the wall was, and smashed into the right field fence netting to make the catch at a pretty high velocity. Put his hands on his knees after the play for a minute and was clearly shaken up. I can't help but suspect that this has something to do with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it happened, and it was violent. Luckily he hit the wire fencing, but he hit it with his full force. The game went to commercial right after the play and of course the Bally Detroit broadcast didn't mention anything about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a 'Blood' moon but it was cloudy in SE MI and we didn't see. The world actually ended that night and everything that has happened to the Tigers since then are just our dying dream memories.

Nerb Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 If the little wire fence wasn't on that right field scoreboard wall he would have been knocked unconscious, yeah. The back of his head/neck bounced off that wire at a pretty good clip though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
