SAN DIEGO -- Padres?general manager A.J. Preller said Wednesday that 10 teams have inquired about San Diego players since his 30-day suspension ended, including one that wanted to make a trade, a signal that his ability to deal with other clubs wasnt damaged by the unprecedented punishment.Preller was suspended by Major League Baseball without pay on Sept. 15 for failing to disclose medical information when All-Star lefty Drew Pomeranz was traded to the Boston Red Sox in July.The GM said there was no intent to deceive the Red Sox or other teams the Padres made deals with, but rather, a misunderstanding of baseballs medical reporting system and where the team was storing information on players. He said that was partly due to changing head trainers in the offseason, with the new trainer starting work shortly before spring training started.The discipline stemming from Major League Baseball, from our standpoint they felt like our medical record-keeping wasnt in line with some guidelines from an administrative standpoint, Preller said during an hour-long interview with three writers. I think from an integrity, intent standpoint, at no point in time for myself or anyone in baseball operations was there an intent to deceive, or an integrity question. I think Commissioner Manfred in his ruling stated that, that it wasnt about that. It was about the administrative side of things. Thats something were going to be very committed to correcting and making sure that obviously will not happen again.Preller vowed the Padres will be industry leaders and best in class in medical reporting standards.Whatever the minimum standards are for Major League Baseball, were going to be way far above that, he said. Its a small league and everything like that, and youve got a lot of relationships. Overall, the sense I have from other clubs and other teams is that theres a trust factor and I think were going to make sure were setting up a structure to make sure other teams feel that.I feel confident that were going to be able to make moves and deals with other clubs, he added.Preller was hired in August 2014 and quickly gained a reputation as a wheeler-dealer. He made a dizzying run of deals the following offseason. After that win-now approach with veteran players failed, Preller almost as quickly shifted into a deep rebuilding mode.Weve made a lot of (trades), and I think the idea of deals is to help both sides, Preller said. I think weve got to make sure that from our trade process standpoint that basically when we get through that process, both sides understand exactly whats been presented.After Preller was suspended, there were reports that the Padres were keeping medical information on players in two separate files, one for industry use and the other for internal use.The Red Sox and other teams that made deals with the Padres said important information that should have been made available wasnt.From our standpoint, it was a situation where it wasnt that we had two different sets of information. It was where you go to store the information, Preller said. From an MLB guideline standpoint, it should be in a certain area of the Sutton EMR medical reporting system. Thats what we have to make sure is stored exactly the way MLB will put out their guidelines or future minimal standards. Weve already done that.Going forward, it starts with education and communication. It starts from a leadership standpoint, myself, making it a priority. The focus a lot of times on the baseball side is acquiring players, developing players, building a culture, but its got to be on the administrative side as well. Thats the area -- I think we have very capable people in the front office. I think were going to continue to bolster that and find some people that thats their focus every single day.

The Pelicans jumped 41 spots in these rankings after their first winning season in the Anthony Davis era, and that 45-win season seemed to foretell great things for the team and its leading man. Alas, an encore with more starting lineups (42) than wins (30) pushed the Pels back to the bottom half.Whats goodEven after a 30-win season, the Pelicans rank in the top third of teams in bang for the buck, thanks to the leagues cheapest tickets. At just $30.20 on average, Pelicans tickets are $25 below the NBA average and a full $99 cheaper than the leagues most expensive ticket (the Knicks). Once youre in the door, you get to watch a superstar in the prime of his career. Although doubts have emerged after his left knee debridement in March made it four straight seasons with fewer than 70 regular-season games played, Davis is still only 23 years old and boasts a statistical profile befitting some of the very best in history.Whats badA season ravaged by injuries -- the Pelicans lost 351 games to injury or illness, second-most in tthe past decade -- forced the front office to undergo a major facelift this past summer.dddddddddddd While the likes of Solomon Hill and ETwaun Moore will provide much-needed versatility, particularly for the leagues 28th-ranked defense, the losses of Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon leave the supporting cast a bit light on star power and scoring punch. As a result, the Pels take a big hit here in players (down 52 spots to 101st) and title track (down 30 to 107, New Orleans worst showing).Whats newThe Benson familys courtroom drama, in which owner Tom Benson is trying to move control of a family trust to his wife, not his daughter, put a 32-point drag on the teams ownership score, which is now down to 86th overall and 23rd in the NBA. But if New Orleans can live up to its reputation as the countrys best party host with the 2017 All-Star Game -- relocated to New Orleans after the league moved it from Charlotte -- the Pelicans could bump that back up.
