That would be worse, wouldn’t it? It would mean his shoulder is the problem 

Brandon used up his 30 day injury rehab, so a new injury would need to be in play to extend the injury rehab (if that is indeed what happened).

Kind of surprised the Brewers structured Woodruff's deal like they did.  The mutual option payment will likely be about 8% of the team's total payroll next year.

Yea it really never made sense to me. For a poor team always pinching pennies, to choose to pay like 17.5 mil for at most 3/4 of a season of a guy fresh off shoulder surgery was poor use of money. Sure it feels harsh to let him go and just say sorry after the injury, but that's the nature of the business. He likely turned down multiple long term contract possibilities s they offered over the years that would've made him set for life but chose to gamble for the mega-payday.
