Chris Sale To Undergo Tommy John Surgery
By Mark Polishuk | March 19, 2020 at 4:04pm CDT
Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale will undergo Tommy John surgery, as per a team announcement. Sale will be out of action for roughly the next 12-15 months, as per the usual recovery timeline, and will miss all of the 2020 season.

Well depending on this friggin virus who knows if we will even have a year this year. But yes I agree. Hopefully he comes back to his old self. I knew it wasn’t a question of if, but a question of when. Guess we have our answer.
Not surprised to hear this, and glad he'll be getting it done now, instead of waiting a few months. Now, he at least has a chance to come back next season
Dear motard,
I think you owe an apology to everyone that tried to explain this eventual outcome to you over the past 6 months, but you were too mentally challenged to comprehend!
That's a little unnecessary, don't you think?
No apologies for trying to be optimistic. But kudos to you for getting something right for a change!

Maybe weighing a buck 60 at 6 foot tall and violent arm delivery should have been a factor. The red flags were there.
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
'Til we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
A number of us, including Kimmi, have questioned the sense of giving long term contracts to players over 30. That especially applies to pitchers who have a lot of mileage on them and the moreso when they have exhibited soreness in their arms and shoulders. Under DD, we went ahead with contracts of that type and it is probably what got him fired. I doubt if Bloom will make similar moves, but in the meantime, we will have to work through what is on the books. Sale may be able to come back from this in a year but he will be 32 and his arm will be a question mark. We will have the $48 mil from Price, whats left of Eovaldi and the remainder of the $145 mil from Sale when he gets back. Not an enviable situation.
The curious thing is why GMs continue to sign players to insane contracts. And it is getting more and more insane every year.
I understand that Mookie is not Chris Sale, but the number of people who really want to sign Mookie to a 10+ year mega contract just blows my mind.
Doesn’t make much sense as to why they waited
I was suspicious when Sale was so anxious to sign an extension. The crack medical team of crackpots did their usual fine job.

If he had the surgery last July/August, he might be ready for the 2021 season.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
