People have negative reactions to various vaccines. However, it will be difficult to prove a, the vaccine did cause it, b, the team forced him to get it, c, the negative reaction was an anomaly from the norm

How can he prove it impacted him negatively? Also, what would the motivation be for the Sox to pressure a fringe prospect into getting it? Edited February 10Feb 10 by WhiteSox2023

From the wording in the article, I wonder if his claim is focused on the Sox not giving him adequate treatment for his bad reaction moreso than making him get the shot in the first place. Not sure how plausible it is that quicker treatment or whatever would have any long-term impact on his recovery from the reaction.

February 11Feb 11 Didn't most teams in all sports demand players get the shot(s)? I remember a lot of places were firing people for not getting the shot. I'll stop here before issuing an opinion that might get me in trouble on here.

Dustin Fowler. “Outcome: The case was remanded back to state court in 2018 after a federal judge ruled in Fowler's favor regarding jurisdiction. A settlement motion was later filed in February 2022, though specific details of the resolution were not publicly disclosed.”
