Chris Sale's Future with the Red Sox Up in the Air
Atlanta Braves Starting Pitcher Faces Uncertain Future
Red Sox Left Pitcher's Future in Limbo
The Boston Red Sox have left the future of starting pitcher Chris Sale up in the air after giving him the option to opt out of his contract at the end of the 2023 season. Sale, who is currently on the injured list with a rib injury, has not yet made a decision about his future, but the Red Sox have made it clear that they are willing to let him go if he wants to.
Sale has been one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball over the past decade, but he has also been plagued by injuries. He missed the entire 2020 season with an elbow injury, and he has already missed several starts this season due to the rib injury.
The Red Sox are hoping that Sale will be able to return to his old form and be a key part of their rotation in 2024, but they are also realistic about the possibility that he may not be the same pitcher that he once was. If Sale does opt out of his contract, the Red Sox will have a big hole to fill in their rotation.
