Chris Sale delivers in the first inning during the game against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on June 21, 2016 in Boston, Massachusetts.
“Obviously we’re all extremely disappointed that we have to deal with this issue at this time both from the standpoint of the club as well as Chris’ perspective”, general manager Rick Hahn said. The White Sox lead 3-2 in the top of the eight inning when the Tigers mounted its comeback.

Sale’s main focus in the interview was to express his desire to win, which he says was what sparked the eventual incident.

“Really today, if he wasn’t able to go he probably would have gone on the DL”, Ventura said. “And the guys that may come available are going to come at a steep price”.
The Tigers recalled right-handed pitcher Buck Farmer from Triple A Toledo and the White Sox brought up infielder Carlos Sanchez from Triple-A Charlotte. You can run guys into the boards, shove your glove in opponents’ faces and just generally take care of all your built-up anger in the course of a night’s work. “That’s it”, Frazier said of the trade discussion. That’s all you can ask for as a player.
