It'd be fair to say that the Chris Sale experiment hasn't exactly worked out so far in Boston.
Since signing a five-year, $145 million contract extension in March 2019, the seven-time All-Star has struggled to stay healthy and put together another dominant season like the ones he had to begin his tenure with the organization in 2017 and 2018.
Sale, 34, went 6-11 in 2019 but has only played in just 12 games since then. He missed the entire 2020 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery and has suffered fractured ribs and a broken wrist as part of his injury history.
