none of his myriad injuries seem all that related to pitching.

A rib stress fracture cost him most of 2022.
A fractured pinkie on a comebacker cost his the rest of 2022.
Then a broken wrist from a bicycle accident cost him time in 2023.


So it's interesting. Is he just injury prone, or was this just a run of freak injuries? Guess we'll find out, but if it was just a run of freak injuries, Sale was pitching pretty dang well to end the 2023 season.

At any rate, anything Atlanta gets out of him in 2024 is gravy considering Boston will be paying his entire 2024 salary.
