MLB FanHouse examines the case for Garza being damaged goods.

It would be a difficult case for Tampa to win. Garza was a young pitcher trying to stay in the major leagues, a sure recipe for hiding an injury if ever there was one. Throw in his issues with team brass and there's little chance he'd risk his spot on the team if he thought he could pitch through the pain. And one other thing. The Rays knew that he'd had nerve issues while in college. That's not a winning case unless you're trying to prove that Tampa may have made too big a gamble with a trade chip as valuable as Young.

The Rays can file a complaint with the league office 5 minutes after they send Kazmir back to the Mets. Otherwise rot with it, they are still ahead of the game.
