Yeah, but the assumption that he’ll stay healthy is a pretty big one.I don't think Sale will ever be a top 5 pitcher in the league again, or worth the salary, but he can still be a very effective guy for the last two years of this deal.
Has had HR/command issues through two, which is not shocking given the amount of time missed. But the velocity seems to be there, and he's still getting swinging strikes which is very encouraging.
Assuming health, he probably gives them 160+ innings with a mid 3 ERA.
Me and @LouJersey been discussing how Adam Duvall defense in RF at Fenway and power would be phenomenal fit here way before the Sox got him
35 bombs 240 average (maybe higher with no foul territory) and superb D was always just sitting there
Great win
I would think it would be more upsetting to those who are obsessed with the prospects and farm system rankings and not those who want the Sox to build a team like they are used to?
I wanted the Mets to get him so bad. He would not have been a regular though so he didn't sign.

Baseball fans have known for a hundred years the warmer the weather the easier it is to hit homeruns. No fan ever would have argued against that obvious and easily understood fact, which is based on simple science.
What exactly is the issue everyone has with this piece?

Heh. Ya never know…My $100 bet Adam Duvall breaks Judge home run record looking good. Payoff 6.3 M
to think chaim would’ve traded raffy for garbage if john henry wasn’t bullied by the fans into signing him. if only we got to keep xander…
Bullied? Seriously?to think chaim would’ve traded raffy for garbage if john henry wasn’t bullied by the fans into signing him. if only we got to keep xander…
Yeah I don’t think this ownership group cares all that much about being unpopularYou’re giving the fan base way too much credit. Raffy is here because the Red Sox wanted him here and he wanted to be here. It wasn’t because drunken idiot fans booed him.
Exactly. A shame actuallyYeah I don’t think this ownership group cares all that much about being unpopular
