They are going to be just like the Tigers in a few years. Their contracts(led by Sale IMO) are going to devastate that team for a long time

He basically sold the farm for a ring, which really shouldn't be a problem for the fans. It's what we all want. Obviously it's better to win it, while maintaining the roster and the system in order to have sustained success, but that's much easier said than done. The big question now is, will Betts make it to free agency in 2020? Also, will they be able to trade Sale's contract? Don't be surprised if a team like the Giants, with a lot of money, and not much pitching in the system, works out a deal by being willing to take on the contract.

Betts will be traded IMO this offseason to build up the farm system. They almost have to. He won't sign prior to being a free agent.

I don't see Sale's contract as being able to be dealt. Too many health questions quite frankly.
