Chris Sale Next Team Odds: Phillies 16% Shot For Star Pitcher
Chris Sale made the All-Star Team all seven seasons between 2012 and 2018. He finished between second and sixth in the AL Cy Young Award in all 7 seasons. Sale played in exactly 11 games over the last three seasons and earned $90 million in salary.
The 12-year veteran is owed $27.5 million each of the next two years and another $20 million in 2025. Bookies.com oddsmaker Adam Thompson reveals his 2023 team for the pitcher.
Sale won 17 games on three occasions and has led MLB on two occasions in strikeouts and complete games. Boston doesn't want to trade him, but is willing to listen. He has a complete no-trade clause. The Sox finished last in the AL East in 2022 and lost top player Xander Bogaerts in free agency.
The Cardinals are 16th in payroll and have a lot of options. The Phillies came close to winning a World Series and spent the offseason like they're hell-bent on returning. Dodgers have unlimited funds and more questions in the rotation than anywhere else. Giants were hoping Logan Webb and Carlos Rodon would be the 1-2 punch of a solid five-man rotation, but Rodo is now with the Yankees.
The Field includes teams that will throw money at anything if it means improvement. The Rangers and Mets have proven starters, especially at the 1-3 spots. Jacob deGrom and Justin Verlander have made waves for inking Jacob DeGrorom.
