So if I am following correctly we just traded our best prospect for a pitcher that is hurt a lot.
Seriously Alex?

I can't believe this one.

I just heard we got Sale and assumed it was a free agent signing.

When Sale is not hurt, he's one of the best pitchers I've ever seen. The guy went 29-12 with Fenway as his home field and won a World Series, but he's old for any baseball player (esp a pitcher) and his arm is long gone.

This is not good.

Yeah, I saw the news and like you assumed FA. Then I saw we traded for him and said words not appropriate for Tidefans.

It is a sink or swim move. If he can stay healthy he will be solid and eat up a lot of innings. If he can’t it is a bust. We needed another starter though.

Grissom didn’t really have a spot in our current lineup anyway.

Chris Sale is being held together on a wing and a prayer. ATL probably could have had him for a non-prospect. To give up Vaughn Grissom (regardless if he had position on ATL or not), imo, is a bad overpayment for a gamble. A more worthwhile gamble would have been on Shane Bieber. I know Bieber is not the same pitcher he once was but I believe he's a better gamble than Sale.

Yeah, I don't have a problem with adding him to the roster, but not at this price.
