FACTS/FLUKES: Sale, F. Freeman, J. Gray, Dubon, Poche

Time to worry about Sale?... Chris Sale's (LHP, BOS) 2019 season was a disappointment, as he posted the worst ERA of his career (4.40) while elbow inflammation ended his season in late August and his rotisserie value dropped to single digits for the first time since he became a starting pitcher in 2012. Should we be worried about him heading into 2020?
