I found this, sounds like they will have to cut him (any team would honestly) but will be on the hook for his medical expenses: The second type of injured list is the 60-day injured list. A player on this list can be replaced both on the active roster and the Major League roster during the regular season and post-season. However, he must return to the Major League roster during the off-season if his team wants to retain his services for the future. This is used for more serious injuries that require many weeks of healing. Some players who are in fact retired are put on the 60-day injured list for insurance purposes; this was the case of Albert Belle, who spent two full seasons on the Baltimore Orioles injured list after announcing his retirement in spring training 2001 because of a degenerative hip injury. This move allowed the Orioles to claim reimbursement for a portion of Belle's guaranteed salary from an insurance company, but it also meant that they had to put Belle's name back on the Major League roster after the 2001 and 2002 seasons, thus losing a spot for an actual player. Just a terrible break for Danny. He was on the verge of securing a future as a MLB utility man either in Chicago or somewhere else and now I'd say the over under on future career PA is probably something like 200 instead of 500-800. He's losing the prime 18-24 month window he had to accrue time and get some chances.

maybe if they spend 30% of the payroll on relievers things will turn around.

I kinda feel this season is a wash. It's past the point of getting healthy and nobody other than Vaughn is really having a better than projected season position player wise. Hahn will stand pat or do some dumb shit i feel at the deadline.

dad gumit.

prefer to trade the pick honestly.

i'm watching the draft and I see in the box we have 6 hits with no runs, including two doubles. impressive.

Hold up Jerry Krause was assigned brazil???

of manure?

too bad our "ace" shit the bed.

You have to fire the entire training staff in the offseason. What an utter embarrassment.

this team just can't string together a good stretch.

This is ALL BECAUSE THEY DON'T PRIORITIZE OF DEFENSE.

This team is brain dead.

The comp makes almost zero sense on any level given age difference, money, performance relative to age.

Eloy is a lot better hitter. He's a rich man's Soler at this point, which isn't ideal but it's not worthless either.

man I nailed it on the hip speculation. it's probably something he'll have to play with the rest of the season and career. maybe why he's thinking retirement. hips usually don't get better on aging athletes.

Don't really see a need for Sosa in AAA before middle of July. If he hits in AAA into late August maybe he forces a hard decision but for now Sox can be patient. Obviously it's fluid. Mendick and crew are holding it down and TA for now is healthy.

Josh Harrison now has .1 fWAR. Baby steps.

lol west coast 1st world problems. and peace be with you!

Giolito on the mound to return the favor from toronto and get above .500

500 TASTES SO GOOD

good god. inches away.

WIN. THE. GAME.

i didn't start drinking until 4 hours ago but this team just keeps you going to the fridge.

was a great jump i thought. tough play but he made it look easy.
