The Boston Red Sox’s trade for left-handed ace Chris Sale drew lots of reaction, including from their biggest rival.
New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman commented Tuesday on the Red Sox giving up four prospects for Sale, going as far as comparing them to the NBA’s latest super team.
Cashman on the Sale trade: "That's a big one. Boston's like the Golden State Warriors now."

That’s quite the interesting statement coming from the Yankees.
The Red Sox do have a “Big Three” of their own now with Sale, David Price and 2016 American League Cy Young Award winner Rick Porcello leading their pitching staff, and expectations likely will be pretty high, although that usually comes with the territory for New England sports teams.
