Tuesday's P.M. Hot Clicks: Monic Perez; The first true big hot stove trade
Sox Trade Chris Sale to Sox

I’ll keep pretending the Yankees still have a chance in the division. Sale apparently learned of the trade while with his old college coach, who appears to have printed a Red Sox logo off his computer to mark the occasion.
