Very preliminary though...
I am not even sure what a price would be right now. Sager you have any idea as to what would be a good starting point?
5/40M with two option years at 18M each.
Might be wise to wait till the end of this year and see how his arm holds up...
Watching the Chicago White Sox makes you want to beat women
Clay Bucholz and Trevor Cahill's extension would probably be a base starting point. I would see something like this
5yr/$35.75M with options in '18 worth $15M and '19 worth $17M
'13- $750K
'14- $3.5M
'15- $7.5M
'16- $11M
'17- $13M
'18- $15M option $1M buyout
'19- $17M option $1.5M buyout
The fact of the matter is, when looking at young pitchers who have signed extensions during their final year before arbitration, Buchholz and Cahill are good comparisons, but the fact is that Sale has only been a starter for 1 year. That will hurt him a bit. But this would be great for the Sox if they can lock him up.
This is what I would do, I don't know that the Sox would get both options on the deal, but I think it would be close to that.
Even if the two option years are for 20M that is still a deal you sign. The chance at locking an ace for 7 years and less than 100M is too good too pass up!

Looks like a few of the White Sox players are backing an extension for Sale to beat writers. Check Scott Merkin's twitter.
Which tweet are you talking about?
Merkin had a few quotes from Danks and Konerko.
@ESPNChiSox source Sox, Sale agree to 5yr deal
Somewhere between 35 - 60 million
5 year 60.

#WhiteSox sign Sale to five-year, $32.5 million extension.
nvm, that includes those options. 5 year, 32.5 with a chance to go up to 60.
