Yes. Not sure if those are team, player, mutual, or vesting options.

Great deal for the Sox at today's prices. Excellent management decision.

Agree with everyone above, very happy. The team options at the end are great. Paying just over at 8 mil over 7 years for an ace? I'll take. Just got to hope he stays healthy.

Sort of surprised with the Sox on this one, 5 years with 2 option years for a pitcher doesn't fit their modus operadi. Keeping my fingers crossed considering that last year the Sox thought that Sale could not hold up as a starter.

Agreed it is a risk but pitching is the single most valuable possession in baseball.

Sale could turn out to be very, very good...an ace. You have to take the chance given the potential ceiling.

Its been a long time since the Sox had a true number 1. Black Jack. Sale has the capabilities to be that, that doesnt happen often with the Sox. Its worth the gamble.

It's interesting how in the 90s the Sox wouldn't sign their pitchers to long term deals. But now they're first priority.

If Chris becomes as good as we all hope he can be, this could be viewed as the best deal in baseball. With contracts creeping toward $30m a season, we could have an ace making 1/3 of market value five years down the line.

Default Big Contracts
Would you rather give this contract to Sale? Or would you rather give Edwin Jackson $52 million dollars for 4 years? It seems to me as if the Good Guys on the Southside of Chicago made a better deal with Sale than what the Bad Guys on the Northside did with Jackson.

True, but you can't really just compare them like that because Sale was still under Sox control cheaply for a few more years anyway, that's very different than a free agent signing. I'm sure the Cubs would have signed Sale if they could have...

This is huge. On the open market, Sale is probably a $20m a year pitcher right now.

Not arguing with you really but what was Buehrle?
