Boston Red Sox’s starting pitcher Chris Sale will undergo Tommy John surgery on his left elbow, and will miss the entire 2020 MLB season. The surgery will take a 12-14 month recovery period as he could miss the start of 2021 season.

Well, this isn’t the news Boston fans were wanting to hear. First it was Mookie Betts being traded away to the Dodgers, then Tom Brady leaving the Patriots after twenty years for the Buccaneers, and now the Red Sox best pitcher is out for the season.

With the whole corona-virus stuff that is going on, we aren’t sure how this MLB season is going to look. But when the Red Sox take the field this season, it is going to hurt not having him out there on the mound.

Sale signed a five year/$145 million contract extension in 2019 after the Red Sox won the World Series in 2018. But now we are paying Chris Sale for a whole year to recover. It sucks, but I still don’t regret signing him to the extension. If he brought home a World Series title, it is worth the contract.

I worry this though, if things don’t work in 2020 for the Boston Red Sox, Chris Sale could be on the trade market. I am hoping that is not the case, because Sale is one of the most dominant pitchers in the league, butt anything can happen in a year.

The future for the Red Sox is going to be interesting, if they ever take the field.
