Chris Sale mimicked Luis Tiant's delivery ahead of throwing his first pitch in Saturday's game vs. the Red Sox.

During his spring training start vs. his former team in the Boston Red Sox, Atlanta Braves ace Chris Sale imitated the late, great Luis Tiant's pitching motion on his first delivery to the plate. Sale pitched for the Red Sox.

Tiant] was a special person,” Sale said of Tiant, who died in October. “I just felt like that was something cool for me to be able to do to kind of tip my cap to him.”

It's getting awfully close to decision time for the Boston Red Sox. With 11 days to go before the regular season begins, Boston has much tougher Opening Day ros

As the final week of spring training gets underway, the Red Sox have about three-quarters of their roster already set. Who will get the remaining spots?

"I hope to shoulder all the responsibilities that come with it with pride and just lead this team," Crochet said.
