Report: Red Sox and White Sox have ‘late night' Chris Sale trade talks

Share

While a trade that sends Chris Sale from the White Sox to the Red Sox had been deemed a long shot by many, the teams reportedly engaged in “late-night talks” for the left-handed ace.

Bob Nightingale of USA Today reported that the Red Sox and White Sox had the after-hours discussions.

Last week, it was reported that Red Sox outfield prospect Andrew Benintendi was the “front man” in Sale trade talks, but Boston is reluctant to part with top prospects Benintendi or second baseman Yoan Moncada.

Still, there are plenty of doubters about a Sox swap for Sale getting done.
