OXON HILL, Md. — Just a few minutes ago, John Farrell and Dave Dombrowski took the stage in the media room at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center here and explained why they just parted with four good prospects, including the No. 1 prospect according to MLB.com, for what might be, because of the combination of talent, track record and contract, the most valuable pitcher in baseball.
The Red Sox got lefty Chris Sale from the White Sox in exchange for Joan Moncada, Michael Kopech and two other players.
