re Chris Sale to Texas rumors..that'd be a big get. Signed thru '19, at about $12.67 mil/year, so you get the next three years at a great price.
The one negative I see is while most of his numbers are strong, his k's per nine this year are the lowest in his seven years as a starter. They are at 8.7 in '16, vs 11.8 last year, 10.8 the year before, and 9.5 the year before that.
best.
