Kind on indecisive of your guy.

I thought that once you opted out that was it.  No take backs.

Maybe that’s up to the team?    

I wonder if Nick was influenced by the fact that Freddie Freeman came back to play.

Maybe Nick researched the virus, realized the team had actually come together in a virus free environment, and found the risks were acceptable.

Was watching High Heat today.  Alex A was on. Basically said team controls process once he wanted to come back. Team was under no obligation to bring him back. Once they endorsed it goes to commissioners office for final approval. 

He can stay on restricted list for up to 30 days, not that it will take that long.  Up to team how long he stays there. He is working out now at alternate camp now.

The race for 3,000 is back on!  Go Nick!

Yes, I'm aware it's a very slim chance.

I think this belongs in the MLB section.  Nick hasn't been an Oriole since 2014.

Yes, OK with me if it’s moved.    This thread just seemed like the logical place to post this latest news.

Einmal Oriole, immer Oriole.

Your right, not much news about how, and I guess its understandable, given privacy concerns with medical information.
