CHICAGO — Chris Sale smiled as he talked about his time in Chicago. The White Sox praised Sale's work ethic and attitude, and Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell called him a true competitor and great teammate.
There was lots of love for Sale on Monday, from every corner of his longtime home.
The left-hander received a warm welcome in his return to Chicago following his trade to Boston last winter. The White Sox and Red Sox opened a three-game series under a beautiful blue sky, with Sale set to pitch against his former team Tuesday night for the first time.
