Mark Sanchez | NY Post: According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the Red Sox have locked up lefty ace Chris Sale for the next five years, extending the soon-to-be 30-year-old for $150 million. Given Sale’s dominance against the Yankees since his days with the White Sox, this isn’t the best of news for Yankees fans, unless Sale’s second-half struggles and injuries are the start of a trend.
Mark Sanchez | NY Post: Also from Sanchez, the Cardinals have designated former Yankee legend Chasen Shreve for assignment, while fellow former Yankee Giovanny Gallegos has struggled in camp for the Cards, posting an ERA of just under 10.
