The Chicago White Sox used to have one of the very best pitchers in all of baseball on the mound every five days with Chris Sale. He was the face of the franchise for a very long time. It was Clayton Kershaw as the best pitcher in baseball and then Chris Sale made a compelling case to be noted as the second best. Well, he is also the face of the White Sox rebuild.
The White Sox sent Chris Sale to the Boston Red Sox in a trade that delivered Yoan Moncada and Michael Kopech to the White Sox.
