FORT MYERS, Fla. -- In 2010, the Chicago White Sox hurried Chris Sale to the big leagues two months after drafting him because they believed he could help them make the playoffs.
Seven years later, Sale still hasn't thrown a pitch in a playoff game.
It was no wonder, then, that Sale took note of the championship banners affixed to a sign at JetBlue Park after throwing a bullpen session in his first official workout with the Boston Red Sox here Tuesday.
"You just walk out here and you look at that," Sale said.
