Chris Sale’s Tommy John scare the perfect moment for Red Sox to punt on 2020

COMMENTARY

Hey, you’ve got it easy. You can just not watch the Red Sox this season.

And frankly, every second they spend worried whether or not you’re watching takes away from the rich future that Chaim Bloom’s trying to build.

There really wasn’t much for Bloom to say on Tuesday, Boston’s chief baseball officer is waiting like the rest of us. Chris Sale couldn’t get through 15 pitches on Sunday without needing an MRI afterward, and that those 15 pitches led to another chat with Dr. James Andrews certainly suggests the lefty’s 2020 season is in significant doubt.
