Chicago White Sox’ GM Rick Hahn made two tough calls this week, to let Chris Sale and Adam Eaton know that they had been traded, in separate deals, to the Boston Red Sox and Washington Nationals, respectively. Sale was dealt from the White to the Red Sox in return for a package of four prospects headlined by Yoan Moncada and Michael Kopech. Eaton brought back Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez and Dane Dunning from the Nationals.
“I did not enjoy my phone call with Adam any more than I enjoyed my phone call with Chris yesterday,” Hahn told reporters Wednesday night on the third day of the 2016 MLB Winter Meetings at the Gaylord Resort & Convention Center.
