Boston Red Sox co-owner Tom Werner said the franchise has had discussions with Chris Sale about a contract extension before he hits the open market following the 2019 season.
"We have had private conversations," Werner told WEEI's Mut and Callahan. "The best thing for us is to keep these conversations private because he and we have to come to an understanding that is good for both sides. In a perfect world, we'd love to have him back. He's one of the great pitchers in the American League."
