Sport transactions
Per WP:CRYSTAL, we only overhaul player and team articles after a deal has been officially completed. When news reports include terms like "agreed upon", "agreed in principle", "pending a physical", etc... the deals are still unofficial. Thanks. --Madchester (talk) 02:59, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Remember Madchester's comment to you a month ago about WP:CRYSTAL. Xavier Nady had a second Tommy John surgery, so it's easy to see how he could fail a physical, nullifying his deal with the Cubs. Remember that a failed physical nullified a trade involving Mike Lowell very recently. --Muboshgu (talk) 21:19, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
