This isn't really anything MLB did but I don't know that it's worthy of its own thread, so this seemed like an appropriate spot.

Justin Turner broke his wrist in an at-bat. Him go bye-bye for a while.

So if Verlander had flopped or gotten hurt after the trade, they wouldn't have owed anything? Makes no sense to me.

Maybe I'm just not understanding this, but how do you quantify the tax value of a player acquired in a trade?

See all those capital gains taxes we avoided by not making any trades at the deadline last year? A brilliant act of efficiency. In fact I think we should be allowed to deduct Oh and Rosie's crap as long term losses. Accountants know it's not always bad having a few losers on your books if you are trying to minimize your tax liabilities! ;-)
