One of the biggest names heading into baseball’s trade deadline is Chris Sale.
So when, just hours before game time, word came that the Chicago White Sox ace was being scratched from his start Saturday night…the internet responded accordingly.
It's looking like Chris Sale has pitched his final game for the White Sox. God damn I am going to miss him

I'm 100% serious if Chris Sale goes anywhere I'm leaving the stadium and jumping in front of a bus

What does any/all of this mean?
Traded or not. Flu or otherwise. Things on the Southside are about to get interesting involving the White Sox and their five-time All-Star.
Stay tuned.
