Very minor blip in transaction news brings me to a baseball rules question.
Braves needed a spot on their 40-man so they released OF Eli White. Didn't DFA him, just straight up released him.
White, who fizzled in a brief MLB appearance had been so-so in AAA but a torn labrum ended his season in early July ... which brings me to my question:
Is MLB like the NFL where they have to reach a buy-out / injury settlement with a player to release one that's injured? Or can they just cut him loose?
