I’m going to be honest with you. I’m not ready for the offseason. I’m not ready to put the 2018 season behind us and start thinking of 2019. We’re not going to go all-in on offseason and hot stove stuff around here, of course, but avoiding it altogether is unavoidable. Unfortunately for me, it would be me not doing my job. So, with that in mind, the Red Sox got some housekeeping out of the way on Tuesday. They shocked the world by picking up Chris Sale’s team option for the 2019 season.
Not a shocker, but the Red Sox announced they exercised their 2019 option on Chris Sale.
