There are bittersweet emotions because he’s no longer Chris Sale’s pitching coach, but Don Cooper is excited about the future of the White Sox.
The team’s veteran pitching coach joined the White Sox Talk podcast on Tuesday and said even though he’s sad see Sale go, it’s hard to overlook the talent the team has received in return. Last month the White Sox traded their five-time All-Star to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for four prospects, including Michael Kopech. The club also added Lucas Giolito and two other pitching prospects in a trade for Adam Eaton.
