How does the trade affect Guillen's suspension?

[Bukoski77]

Is he serving it now. Was he not eligible to serve it until he reports to the A's? Has he had his appeal hearing yet? He was a must start after last week and I'm getting burned here.

For all I know, that's the reason he didn't play today. There's no reason that he couldn't have gotten out to Oakland for today's game.

Does anyone have any official word on why he was not in the A's lineup today??

[Quaker]

The game recap said he arrived in the 3rd inning.

I don't know whether he has started serving his suspension or not..but the trade would not affect that...the suspension was handed down by MLB and it would not matter whether he was traded or not...If he has not severed it, he would still have it to serve in OAK...
