Report Phillies Gave Info To Ncaa Causing Pitcher S Suspension

Last week, it was reported Wetzler used an adviser or agent to negotiate his contract, according to The Oregonian. Here's the wrinkle: It was the Phillies who told the NCAA about Wetzler's use of an agent for negotiations.

Craig Calcaterra rightfully ripped into the Phillies for ratting out their own draft pick, who opted to return to school. Ruben Amaro Jr.’s response was a short one.

If a number of teams began to engage in this type of behavior, it would create a scary precedent and a ridiculous amount of leverage of MLB teams in negotiations.
