Cashman calls Red Sox the 'Warriors of baseball' after Sale trade

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman might be a little jealous of the Red Sox after Boston's blockbuster acquisition of Chris Sale.
"That's a wow. Boston's like the Golden State Warriors now of baseball," Cashman said, after Sale joined David Price, AL Cy Young winner Rick Porcello, and AL MVP finalist Mookie Betts on the Red Sox roster, according to Scott Lauber of ESPN.
The comparison is a bit lofty regardless of how good Sale is, and how much better he makes the Red Sox, especially considering the Warriors added Kevin Durant to a team coming off a 73-9 season. Either way, expect the Red Sox to be one of - if not the best - AL team in 2017.
