Entering his final year before free agency, Sale and the Red Sox hammered out a five-year, $145 million extension just before the 2019 season began, one of several questionable transactions that preceded the dismissal of chief baseball officer Dave Dombrowski.

For a starting pitcher, Tommy John recovery can be an up to 18-month process, which casts much of his 2021 status in doubt, as well. The Red Sox did not announce a date for his surgery.
All of this and they have their own sign stealing scandal to not get punished for. 2020 is going to be a forgettable season in Boston.
