Chris Sale is a spectator in the Bronx this week, just another guy who wishes he could play.
“It’s Red Sox and Yankees — there’s always going to be some want for this series,” Sale said on Tuesday. “It’s got a lot of everything, the history, two good teams playing well, one of the toughest divisions in baseball. It’s going to pop out to people.”
It pops out so much that Major League Baseball is bringing the series to London next June. Alas, because Sale pitched for the Red Sox on Sunday, he will miss this edition — like another star Boston left-hander, David Price.
