We went over this in past deals....the mods will decide the intent of the GMs.
Gordon was signed by the Padres this off-season, so the mods have a choice to make whether they believe the deal is in bad faith. I don't believe it is, as Chuck really isn't the type for an ill-faith motive, and even then he wasn't actively shopping Gordon. He moved Gordon to upgrade his pitching plus he takes Taylor as a replacement which I think doesn't violate the rule since it must be done with bad intent. If he moved Gordon for a bunch of specs, then I'd be skeptical.
