'New car smell' gone for Sale at Red Sox camp

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- As Chris Sale put it on Wednesday morning, the new car smell is gone.

"Pretty different," Sale said prior to the first official workout of Spring Training on Wednesday. "It was definitely different getting an adjustment period, getting to know everybody, getting into routines and things like that. I would like to think I got all of that under my belt, and [to] just get going this year.
