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.
The Red Sox inherit a very team-friendly deal that will pay him $12 million in 2017, with club options of $12.5 million for 2018 and $13.5 million for 2019.
Sale is 74-50 with a 3.00 ERA and 1,244 strikeouts in 1,110 innings pitched over his seven seasons with the White Sox.

Isn't Sale the real deal?

 

[PatsFanatic]

Sox got an Ace and didn't give up Betts or Benintendi. Unreal when you think about it.

 

[CHOPTALK]

I'd rather trade Benintendi then Moncada

 

[PatsFanatic]

Maybe if your looking 3/4 years from now.

Dombroski isn't looking that far ahead, nor should he.

Red Sox can afford to trade high prospects, they are very young on their MLB roster
