Sale has already shown he can pitch very well without top velocity.

And yet he has still lost more time due to injury. Sometimes, age is not the factor. Sometimes, neither is wear. That's why Johnny Venters had 3...

He can be great without throwing 96 mph.

LOL :0 now that's just flat mean spirited ;)

Danger Will Robinson! LOL :0 I likely will take it. 58... MS... aweful sleep apnea ... terrible allergies ... Teacher. My wife? ...

Perez vs the RH bashers in Toronto and NY. Oh boy, looking forward to that

You do realize the DJ signing is being widely considered by MLB pundits as a stroke of genius, right?

Severino came back from his teres strain hitting 100mph before he blew out his elbow. He is also 5 years younger than Sale with far less wear on his...

concur

I hope I’m wrong but Sale will never be the real Sale again... his delivery is too violent and that elbow can’t take that strain. The velocity will...

I had Chatham high on my "next to be DFA'd" list, so maybe we get something good from Philly later on.

Realistically? ...

Sale put up some of his best numbers after returning from an injury and had diminished velocity. I'm not saying he is a lock to have a 7 WAR again,...

Agreed. If we sign Odorizzi to 3 years, it would be a better signing than Kluber. I'm also glad we did not outbid the Yanks for DJ.

How is the virus going to impact the new cba negotiations? A ton of money had been lost in 2020 and a ton will be lost in 2021. This is not...

I'm not arguing against this. The talk was about the rotation. I didn't change the subject: you did. (It's okay to change the subject, but it...

How exactly do we know "a player to be named" is of equal or greater value to the Sox?

Another season of watching Perez pitch in Boston. The hitters throughout the rest of the division are ecstatic!

I like this trade. Clearly bloom had no use for Chatham and managed to get something beats releasing him,

I hope bloom is planning to relying on youngsters as depth players this year. Handling losing is easier knowing we are playing prospects.

I will give you some stone cold locks, JM style! 1. Sale will return healthy around the ASB, but his velocity will never get back to what it was...

But.... things are looking up! https://nesn.com/2021/01/chaim-bloom-red-sox-complete-trade-with-dave-dombrowski-phillies/ A player to be named?...

Very sad!

Nice signing by Washington!

Very sad! He was an incredible player for many years for us. Hopefully he recovers enough to live an ordinary life going forward.

If bloom does nothing else this offseason, he is still light years ahead of desperate Dave!

I think Bloom and the Red Sox are acting with due deliberation and patience. It seems every time the Yankees make a move there is an over reaction...

Big market teams rarely find themselves in the scorched earth scenario that DD left them in while also staring up at 3 in division teams vastly...
