Chris Sale is not done, he was clearly hampered by an injury all year long and was at times his stellar self. Even in his bad starts his strikeout and swinging strike numbers were good to great. He's still an elite pitcher by definition. Max Scherzer is 35 and going strong and Verlander at almost 40 is still a stud. The wrong side of the 30 argument does not apply here IMO. You can make an argument that his throwing style has put more wear on his arm than your average hurler has and thus might possibly shorten his career.
That being said the elbow and possible looming Tommy John surgery is a viable concern. If he passes a physical which would rule out TJ I would consider taking on the contract if the package is right.
Btw this is my first post on here. Hello everybody.
