Related: About this forumSource: Red Sox acquire ace Chris Sale in trade with White Sox
Chris Sale will be pitching for the Sox next season, but in Boston rather than Chicago, after the ace left-hander was traded to the Red Sox, sources confirmed to ESPN's Buster Olney on Tuesday.
The White Sox will receive highly touted infield prospect Yoan Moncada, pitching prospect Michael Kopech and two other minor leaguers, a source confirmed to ESPN MLB Insider Jim Bowden.
The deal was first reported by Fox Sports.
Sale, 27, is coming off his fifth straight All-Star season in 2016, when he finished 17-10 with 233 strikeouts in 226⅔ innings pitched.
He joins a talented rotation that includes recent Cy Young winner Rick Porcello, former winner David Price and All-Star knuckleballer Steven Wright.

Sale takes them deeper into the playoffs.
I thought Pablo was destined to DH?

Any excuse to keep linking this!

(31,163 posts)7. Wow ... he lost a ton
He was a capable third baseman with the Giants, especially the one year he slimmed down.
This is major weight loss. Maybe he does come back?

They wanted Trea Turner from us and GM Rizzo rightly said no.

You can never have too much pitching.
