Firstly, Boras certainly knew it was going to be a different market, or he won't have jumped at the Cards offer.
Secondly, very few contracts are actaully insured against injuries as the premiums are simply too expensive.
And thirdly, Strauss has reported that the MRI has revealed that Lohse has no structural damage to his knee and will be revaluated.
