Saturday is a big day for Red Sox fans, as it’s the first time this year we’ll be able to see ace Chris Sale in action. The lefty did appear in a minor-league game last week, but that obviously wasn’t televised. This will be his first game against major-league competition. Sale is, of course, set to hit free agency after the season, and potential extension talks with him will dominate conversation all year. It will be interesting to see where his velocity is on Saturday, but let this serve as a reminder not to read too much into it.
