Nick Punto Traded to Iowa State, Blocked By Bo Ryan

In an effort to trade one of their superstars to bring young talent into the organization, the Boston Red Sox dealt Nick Punto to Iowa State University for their tops two starters, cash considerations and a sausage and pepperoni calzone.  However, Bo Ryan, head basketball coach for the University of Wisconsin had other ideas.  After blocking the transfer of red-shirt freshman Jarrod Uthoff a few days ago, Bo's appears to be at it again.

When asked if Ryan, a basketball coach, had the jurisdiction to block a transaction between baseball teams, one team not in the Big Ten, one in no way associated with the NCAA, concerning players in no way affiliated with the University of Wisconsin in any way, Red Sox GM Ben Cherington replied, "He just did."
