I have called Sale Frail, and always ask the question when he pitches is this a Sale Day, or a For Sale Day. All well documented, and by the way others have called him Frail Sale too. Where has ANYONE SAID that no one can fulfill Sale’s hole in the rotation? I haven’t, but it’s once again something you are making up to fill a narrative of yours. By the way was you asleep at the wheel when Cora explained in detail why he didn’t start Sale on opening day, or was you still hung up on the banning of the shift, or wondering if JT was signed for the bench. Sale is getting a fresh start with a new good team, and I just think he will end up having a good year. If you don’t like I’m hoping, and predicting that Sale with have a healthy, and good 2024, which obviously you don’t then TDB.

I predict Sale is going to have a mostly healthy year for the Braves,and because of that it will be a big year.
-
Here’s a question to ponder now that the Red Sox have traded Sale, and saved $10M. Do you think they signed the Big G knowing they had the Sale deal in the works, and used the $10M for that, or do you think something big is going to be coming with the help with that extra $10M?
-
Mookie will still be talked about not only on here, but everywhere for years to come.
-
In innings yes. Don’t forget to add his 41 HR allowed.
-
He’s expected to get the Red Sox back to at least a winning team, and a trip to the postseason would be icing on the cake.
-
Do people really sit there, and watch a game, and analyze that a so called #1 pitcher is going against another so called #1 pitcher, or a #2 pitcher is going against a #4 pitcher? Nothing wrong with it, but not something I would do.
-
I wasn’t talking about Mookie, and Bogey, but what gets perceived on here.
-
I don’t know what all that means, but Monty is never going to be something like Chris Sale used to be, and a top 10 pitcher in maybe a down year doesn’t mean he is really all that good. Pitching good down the stretch, and into the postseason to me made him look better than he really is kind of like Evol in 2018. A #1 starter today isn’t what a #1 used to be, but after saying all of that Monty would still help the Red Sox.
-
Over, and over, and over again.
-
I get all that, and yes I’m hung up on that $17M. I think it’s a win, win for the Braves though. They get Sale for $10M, and if he’s injured no big deal, but if he stays healthy on that ball club it’s a big win plus the Braves didn’t really give up anyone who was in their plans.
-
Then go look for another one. It’s hard to believe that the Braves are the only team out there who would have been interested in Sale. It would have had to be a good team like the Braves, which would have narrowed the field though.
-
Well we’ll find out soon enough if that $10M helps to pay for Snell, or Monty. I don’t think the AAV will be the problem, but for how many years.
-
Yea he must have ok’d it, but to me it was just to big a payment.
-
Do you really think that JH is wringing his hands with glee with saving $10M on Sale even though he’s still paying him $17M not to play for them, and patting Bres on the back, and saying a job well done?
-
It has nothing to do with if Sale can be counted on to even pitch 1 inning in 2024. That’s been well documented, and hashed, and hashed over again.
-
Vaughn is nothing more than a suspect at this point, so let’s not pump him up to be more than he is until he proves something. Just, because he sucked at SS doesn’t mean he’s going to be a good 2B.
-
So like last year there was no one better than Kike for $10M, and now there is no one better in all off MLB than Grissom to play 2B for the Red Sox who would come for whatever price.
-
It was his birthday, and Cora said he wanted him to relax, and enjoy it. That’s a fact! Where were you when that happened?
-
From the guy who always thinks he knows how much the Red Sox are going to spend, and who they will spend it on, and always gets it wrong like there was NO ONE better in all of MLB better than Kike for $10M. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
-
None of us are Cora, and I’ll say with 100% positivity that had Sale been on the Red Sox, and healthy on March 28 2024 he would have been the opening day starter since it’s not his birthday. If you, or others don’t then fine.
-
And I’m not disputing that, and never have.
-
Who said they hated the trade? Who? All I said was I don’t like paying Atlanta $17M.
-
Oh yes the bike accident would scare people away. Bike accident? Really? Wow?
-
Now that makes NO sense at all that had they unloaded Sale’s $27M they couldn’t, or wouldn’t have signed a better player.
