After spending seven seasons with the Red Sox, Chris Sale’s former manager and team president are saying goodbye to the pitcher.
Boston dealt Sale to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for infielder Vaughn Grissom on Saturday, and both Alex Cora and Sam Kennedy publicly said their farewells.
Cora first shared a photo on Instagram of Sale celebrating winning the 2018 World Series with catcher Christian Vazquez. The southpaw closed out Game 5 for the Red Sox, striking out Los Angeles Dodger Manny Machado for the clincher.
“119 wins, a lot of outs, none more gratifying than this one,” Cora wrote under the picture.
