A day after throwing two innings of live batting practice, Chris Sale feels like he's getting ready to return "sooner rather than later" and that combined with the performances of the Boston Red Sox rotation already so far this season, he could be one of the last pieces that makes the team a strong World Series contender.
"That's the plan," Sale said when asked if he could help push the team toward the World Series. "Our staff has done a hell of a job up to this point. ... We've got the best offense in baseball and you gotta throw the ball too and our guys have done an unbelievable job keeping us in games and putting up big starts when we need it and for me, I just gotta come in and do my job.
