Tampa Bay Rays: No Compensation from Giants

When the Tampa Bay Rays traded pitcher Matt Moore to the San Francisco Giants at the trade deadline, one of the four players acquired was Lucius Fox, a highly rated prospect shortstop.

At the time of the transaction, the Tampa Bay Rays were aware that a two of the players involved were injured and on the disabled list, such as the case with Matt Duffy and Michael Santos.

However, Fox had a bruised left foot as a result of a foul ball that had occurred about a week before the trade and had been playing through the injury, which the San Francisco Giants never disclosed to the Tampa Bay Rays.
