The Boston Red Sox made the first big trade of MLB hot stove season on Tuesday when they traded four prospects, including 21-year-old Cuban sensation Yoan Moncada, for White Sox All-Star lefthander Chris Sale.
Sale makes the Red Sox an immediate World Series favorite; indeed, former Boston General Manager Theo Epstein called the Red Sex the Golden State Warriors of the MLB. The addition of Sale also has David Ortiz pondering a return to Fenway next season.
After news of the trade broke, Ortiz posted an Instagram with a picture of Sale. The caption read: "My boy Sale to Btown ... y'all got me thinking."
To be clear: Ortiz is almost certainly joking, so Sox fans shouldn't get their hopes up - at least not yet. But after Big Papi's monster season last year, there's no reason to believe he couldn't be productive again next year.
