The Chicago White Sox are dealing with a resurgence of a discrimination lawsuit after a tumultuous season. A court has allowed former trainer Brian Ball's claims to proceed, overturning a prior dismissal. The allegations involve former general manager Rick Hahn who may have deceived Ball regarding the reasons for his dismissal, leading him to sign an agreement waiving rights to sue. This controversy reflects possible management misconduct and brings renewed scrutiny as the White Sox prepare for a new season, with financial implications on the horizon.
If, as he alleges, the White Sox procured his signature by concealing the truth, it would not constitute a valid agreement or affirmative matter sufficient to defeat Ball's claims.
The team fired him because of his sexual orientation, which led him to file the lawsuit that was initially dismissed by the trial court.
