MLB in brief: Don't underestimate Chris Sale | Ross Atkins will speak to the media tomorrow

Don't underestimate Chris Sale

His end to the 2023 season was good.

Yu Darvish and his son

He has a good arm, though.

Tim Anderson, a possibility for the Marlins?

Why not?

Red Sox don't want to consider Jason Varitek as manager?

Obviously not.

Full-time coaching experience, which Varitek has had for the last few years, will help his case. SF interest was notable this fall. But this isn't some foregone conclusion down the road.

Who will be next to sign?

Good question.

Why didn't the Yankees want to offer $325 million to Yoshinobu Yamamoto?

Gerrit Cole's contract may be a reason.
