ChiSox Sale Sent Home Over Cutting Up Uniforms
Not a joke: Source says Sale blowup was because he didn’t want to wear throwbacks, so he cut the jerseys up so no one could wear them.

The White Sox released a statement on Twitter before the game against their division rivals, noting he was “sent home” because of a “clubhouse incident” that “is under further investigation”.
“The incident, which was non-physical in nature, now is under further investigation by the club”, general manager Rick Hahn said in a statement.
The White Sox Twitter account had posted a photo of the uniforms they were supposed to wear on Saturday earlier in the day.
“CHICAGO “ The White Sox traded a Chris Sale start for one from Matt Albers on what morphed into a odd Saturday on the South Side.
Over the weekend, the Chicago White Sox promoted their 1906 throwbacks that they planned on wearing in their series against the Tigers.
The Red Sox are still looking at starting pitching even after the Drew Pomeranz trade, kicking the tires on the biggest names, like Sale and Chris Archer of the Rays, who would both command a ton.

Trade rumors are swirling this time of year in baseball, but Chicago White Sox left-hander Jose Quintana said he is avoiding the hysteria. GM Al Avila said if there are no setbacks he’ll join the team Monday in Boston. A team would need to overwhelm the White Sox and send back multiple MLB-ready pieces and probably several high-level minor leaguers in order to get a deal done.
While it’s tough to predict this game overall due to them having to finish Saturday’s game first, I give the edge to the White Sox.
Tigers starter Matt Boyd allowed three runs – one earned – and five hits in 4 1/3 innings.
“I’ve was playing catch-up the whole first half”, Wilson said before the game.

Albers, normally a reliever, allowed an unearned run and a hit in two innings in his first start since June 25, 2008. “And the guys that may come available are going to come at a steep price”.
