I think he may just get released today for the 40 man spot ala Tyler Johnson, and Sox try to sign him back.  

Nailed that

I looked 5 different places on Google and none of them said anything about whether or not someone in the minors can be put on the 60 day IL.

My understanding based on search this weekend:

A minor league player can be placed on the 7 day Minor League IL. If they are injured on the minor league roster, they can be placed on a minor league 60 day IL list.

However, to open up a roster space on the 40 man roster, a player must be added to the major league roster before being placed on the major league 60 day  IL. A player placed on the 60 major league IL continues to earn compensation and service time credits.

The Sox did not want to pay Gonzalez so he was released. Hope this helps.

And, they realized he has no future with White Sox.

They plan on re-signing him much like they did Tyler Johnson a few weeks ago, seems more procedural in order to free up a spot from a guy who will not play the rest of the year.  I don't think they decided anything about his future yet

Who’s Patrick Howard? He may be just guessing… but I don’t know if he’s credible or not.

I think @KnightsOnMintSt trusts Patrick Howard.  Pretty sure of it

Hope you're right, because he seems like a great kid, but he hasn't had a really good year for a while, and with the emergence of Vaughn, Sheets, and Burger in the outfield, plus Micker and Cespedes and hopefully Colas, I don't see him ever again getting onto the Big Club here.

You just keep developing guys for trade chips and stuff.  It doesn't matter if they don't have a big league future with the Sox, they can still have value to the organization
