Following another disappointing campaign for the Boston Red Sox, manager Alex Cora has already started looking toward 2024 and named Chris Sale as his intended opening day starter next season on Thursday, according to the Boston Globe's Alex Speier.
It's an unorthodox move by Cora, although it's clear that Sale is the best option in Boston's rotation, even as he's fallen off from his form of several seasons ago.
The 34-year-old is 6-4 this year with a 4.42 ERA and 1.12 WHIP.
