Chris Sale signed in 2019 to a massive deal to be their ace for a total of $145 Million.
2022 started with a stress fracture to his rib cage and should be back at the end of May – but by then they maybe 20 games back.
This is the second year without being able to pitch at all and therefore not the contract that Boston fans had in mind.
And his first 3 years are hardly ones that align with his career.
