Danny Putnam may be gone for the season

After tearing his esophagus before Thursday nights game. He choked on a grape in the clubhouse. He had to be rushed to the hospital. I wonder if he almost died.

Sucks for the A's and especially for Putnam. Hopefully he's able to come back healthy and at full strength soon.

And it's still not 300 characters? Am I close? I don't think so. So uhh, be careful when you're eating grapes.

Bizarre

Very weird. How big was this assassin grape? Not quite one of those scars you can show off to your teammates.

How did he tear his esophogas?

a grape?

Sounds like it happened while he was choking on a grape. Sounds more like a jagged metal krusty O to me though.

Where did you hear about this?

Looking for confirmation but not finding anything. Wouldn't seem like a season-ender if it's true... or would it?
