Few players have enjoyed a Minor League stint as thoroughly as Red Sox ace Chris Sale, who relished the opportunity to rehab and take the bus, and reportedly even offered to pay for an additional night in a hotel for his Worcester Red Sox teammates.
After his penultimate Minor League start, Sale — who underwent Tommy John surgery in March 2020 — told reporters he was excited to ride the bus to Scranton, where he planned to make his final rehab appearance. According to the Boston Globe‘s Alex Speier, the WooSox planned to leave last Tuesday and arrive in Scranton later in the afternoon for a game that evening.
