Not sure exactly what the deal is. It is possible that he has an agreement with the staff that he will return if he isn't drafted/doesn't go pro but maybe he has gotten positive feedback on his draft prospects and the staff decided it didn't make sense to announce his return if there is a high probability he goes pro. The other interesting thing is that they announced Clay Grady coming back after the Daniel announcement but potentially before the removal of the Daniel announcement post. It is possible those two are connected, either because it became clear that Daniel getting drafted was now more of a probability and they put emphasis on trying to bring back Grady as a replacement or maybe Daniel had second thoughts after the staff made the Grady announcement and questioning his potential role on next year's team. The fact that he isn't in the portal currently leads me to believe it is more about him being drafted than anything else but I guess we'll see. Personally, it would be nice to have him back for next year, but with everyone else across the infield we have returning, we should be fine either way.
