According to the Toronto Sun's Bob Elliott, someone involved in Monday's three-team blockbuster failed their physical.
We don't have enough information to speculate on how this might impact the trade. It's not even clear which player might have had an issue. Stay tuned as this ongoing saga continues.

People in the MLBTR comments are saying Aumont failed the physical..
which could mean…. I can’t even bear to say it
UPDATE
“Halladay and Lee passed (they stuided), it’s a minor leaguer who failed his physical.”
via @elliottbaseball – Bob Elliott: Toronto Sun
I don't know what to think of it...I think the Phillies gave up alot more than they got back.
But at the same time I’d love to see the deal crash and burn.

Or they decide not to send Lee to Seattle after all
Because if it is Aumont that failed, that has nothing to do with the Halladay trade
After thinking about it I really hope it's a Philly prospect.
That lowers the value of their prospects, and leaves them with a possibly unhappy Lee for 1 season instead of Halladay for the next 4 years. It also puts Halladay back on the Angels and Yankees radar, possibly lowering the price of Bay or Holliday by taking those teams out of the mix.
Watching all the Philly fans cry would be a big plus as well…I just feel bad for all the mall santas in the greater (loosely used) philadelphia area.

ugh
this just makes our team and fanbase look bad… i dont get the ill will towards philly one bit… it’s just a stupid media-created rivalry
A "Zeile" for avoiding outs
Expressing inordinate amounts of hate for your own team's franchise players makes the fanbase look bad.

no it's not
Philly fans are awful people, most of whom wouldn’t be out of place in Guantanamo.

You know...If younger, Minor Leaguers who are generally in shape can fail their physicals...
…how is it that people like Bengie Molina can?

Well no one actually failed the physical
but usually its because they have some sort of injury, like Amount who apparently has a violent motion or something is considered high injury risk.
