We all know that after this season lefthanded ace Chris Sale will be on the free agent market. That is unless the Red Sox and Sale are able to come to an agreement beforehand. Sale will be just one of several big possible free agents for the Red Sox in the upcoming years. This isn’t the first time that Boston finds themselves in this position.
During a media event at the Red Sox training facility in Fort Myers Principal Owner John Henry admitted that Sale’s soon to be free agency felt familiar. The situation that he is referring to is that of former Red Sox star Jon Lester.
