BOSTON -- Chris Sale said he isnt worried that he might not be the ace of the Boston pitching staff after being added to a Red Sox rotation that already includes David Price and reigning AL Cy Young winner Rick Porcello.We play for a trophy, not a tag, Sale said on a conference call Wednesday, a day after the AL East champions acquired him from the Chicago White Sox for a package of four minor leaguers that includes No. 1 prospect Yoan Moncada. It takes some pressure off of everybody. Just go out there and pitch, because you dont feel like you have this huge weight on your shoulders to win this game.A five-time All-Star who finished in the top six of the Cy Young voting the last five years, Sale was traded to Boston on Tuesday at the winter meetings for four prospects -- including Moncada, who was Baseball Americas minor leaguer of the year this season. Sale was the premier pitcher on the market following a season of spats with White Sox management over clubhouse issues.Among them: A bizarre incident in which Sale was suspended for five days after taking a scissors to the days throwback uniforms because he said they were uncomfortable. (He also had to pay for the shredded jerseys.) During spring training, Sale also complained about new limits on Adam LaRoches son hanging around the clubhouse, a management decision that prompted LaRoche to retire.It didnt work out. I really wish it did, Sale said on Wednesday. I appreciate my time with the White Sox and Im looking forward to the next chapter.The next chapter brings him to Boston, where he will join Price, the 2012 Cy Young winner, and Porcello in a lefty-heavy rotation that also could include All-Star Steven Wright, Eduardo Rodriguez, Drew Pomeranz and Clay Buchholz. Asked before the official start of winter who his opening day starter will be, manager John Farrell said, Well have plenty of time to figure that out.Theres a surplus right now, he said on Tuesday. But when you think about the high end of it, this is an exciting group.Sale was 17-10 with a 3.34 ERA and 233 strikeouts this season, one year after his 274 strikeouts led the majors. He is scheduled to make $12 million next year, with club options that could keep him in Boston for two more years at $12.5 million and $15 million.The relatively affordable contact had contenders coveting him since last years trading deadline, and the White Sox knew he was their best trading chip if they were going to rebuild the roster that finished fourth in the AL Central last year. While the crosstown Cubs won the World Series in 2016, the South Siders have not made the playoffs since 2008.Trade talk also had Washington as a potential landing spot for Sale.Its kind of like being monkey in the middle, he said. Youre glad when you just get the ball.Sales affordable contract made him even more attractive to the Red Sox, who are trying to remain under the luxury tax threshold. It also made it easier for them to eat the $31.5 million signing bonus they are paying the 21-year-old Moncada -- the largest ever for an amateur player; the amount was doubled as a penalty for exceeding their international signing cap.But in a brief stint in the majors this season, Moncada batted .211 with one RBI in eight games.If I get an opportunity to play every day, I can improve, he told reporters on Wednesday. And I can be a better player (with) that experience.The other three prospects were all in Class A in 2016: Michael Kopech, 20, went 4-1 with a 2.08 ERA; Luis Basabe, also 20, hit .264 with 53 RBI; Victor Diaz, a 22-year-old righty, went 2-5 with a 3.88 ERA in relief.These are the type of impact players that we need to continue to acquire and build up to get our system to the point where we are able to have that extended run of success, White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said.Kopech is a 6-foot-3 righty who has hit 105 mph with his fastball. With his height, power arm and long blonde hair, he has been compared to Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard.I dont want to be that to be my ceiling. No disrespect to him, but I want to set my own ceiling, Kopech said. I dont like to make comparisons, but thats not a bad person to be compared to.---AP Baseball Writer Ben Walker and AP Sports Writers Howard Fendrich and Stephen Whyno contributed to this report.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Donte Moncrief and Phillip Dorsett have a clear mission this season: Become consistent, quality receivers.The Colts playoff hopes may depend on it.Weve got to step up and make plays, Moncrief said. We have to help out T.Y. (Hilton).Moncrief is perfectly positioned to make the jump.After being taken in the third-round of the 2014 draft, the 6-foot-2, 222-pounder from Mississippi started flashing play-making ability late in his rookie season. The expectations increased last season when he entered training camp as the No. 3 receiver and again when he was pressed into more action because of Andre Johnsons struggles.Moncrief wound up doubling his rookie totals, finishing with 64 receptions and six touchdowns despite playing with a bad toe. Indy released Johnson in March and essentially handed the starting job opposite Hilton, a two-time Pro Bowler, to Moncrief, who was recovering from toe surgery.I got into the playbook and learned every position because you never know where youre going to be lining up on the field, the 23-year-old Moncrief said. I know the game better now.Dorsett faces a different kind of challenge. The Colts gambled by using last years first-round pick on the 5-foot-10, 185-pound speedster from Miami, expecting Dorsett to stretch the field and create a spark in the return game.Instead, Dorsett spent the first part of 2015 getting acclimated to the NFL and broke his lower left leg just when it appeared he might break through. The injury cost him five games and eliminated his chance of making the kind of impact Indy projected.Hes healthy now and with a full offseason to work with quarterback Andrew Luck and the rest of his teammates, Dorsett intends to improve on the 18 catches, 225 yards and one TD he had last season.Ive focused a lot on the strength, endurance and going out and being able to run full speed for the whole game, Dorsett said. I did a lot of route running.Offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski noted that Dorsett seemed more precise running pass patterns when he arrived at training camp last month. And Hilton said that Indys new No. 3 receivver is catching better and blocking more effectively, too -- traits Indy desperately needs given the lack of proven talent behind Dorsett.ddddddddddddThe eight other receivers on Indys current roster have zero catches in the NFL. And though one of them, Chester Rogers, came up with the winning score last weekend at Buffalo, the other eight finished with six combined catches. Its an area the team is looking to shore up quickly.Indy hosts Baltimore on Saturday with Luck expected to make his first start in more than nine months.Weve got some young guys that we want to focus on a little bit, and there are some guys out there that were looking at as well, coach Chuck Pagano said Tuesday after veteran Josh Boyce was released.While Pagano didnt cite any specific receivers, the NFL landscape is littered with experienced veterans such as Marques Colston, Brian Hartline and Roddy White. Indy has tried that route before with results ranging from modest success to outright failure.So the Colts best hope appears to be the emergence of two young, promising receivers who insist they are ready to get the job done.Weve got to basically help everybody, Dorsett said. Weve got to help in the run game, weve got to help Andrew (Luck), weve got to play fast and weve got to play physical and thats what were going to do.Game notes Pagano said five players would not play Saturday night: cornerbacks Jalil Brown (ankle) and Darius Butler (hamstring), receiver Marcus Leak (quad), linebacker Sio Moore (hamstring) and guard Hugh Thornton (ankle). ... Pagano said most of the starting offense should play the first quarter against the Ravens and possibly into the second. ... Defensive linemen Henry Anderson could come off the physically unable to perform list soon. Pagano said Anderson is really close to being cleared for practice. He has not practiced with the team since tearing the ACL in his right knee in November.----Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Jerseys 2019 Wholesale Jerseys 2020 Jerseys NFL China China Jerseys Wholesale Cheap Jerseys Online Wholesale Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
