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?

Quin Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I kinda hope the Sox use his prospect ranking against him because I immediately went "who?" 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes people have negative reactions and there is no way to predict it. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounded to me like the claim was they pushed him into getting them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
