Angry Jays fans take to Twitter after Red Sox trade for Chris Sale
It wouldn’t be the MLB offseason if the Red Sox weren’t making big moves.
After Boston had sent a handful of prospects to the Chicago White Sox for five-time all-star Chris Sale, Blue Jays fans quickly took to Twitter to vent their frustrations. The rich often get richer in the AL East, and with a starting rotation featuring Sale, David Price and newly-minted AL Cy Young winner Rick Porcello, Boston looks like the early favourite to win the pennant.
And here the Jays fans sit, anxiously awaiting some news that isn’t just another update on Edwin Encarnacion’s eventual departure.

The red Sox got Chris Sale and the Jays won't get Encarnacion back. Further proof that bad things happen to good people. pic.twitter.com/foyeRTv2S5

Chris Sale? Pfft this is why the Jays went out and splurged on Steve Pierce *tries not to throw phone against the wall*

As a Blue Jays fan the idea of going into a 3 game series with Red Sox and having to face David Price, Chris Sale, and Rick Porcello is.. ????

So Boston gets Chris Sale and the Jays are talking about signing Mitch Moreland. Sounds about right

AA traded all of his prospects for half a season of Price. Dombrowski just did it for 3 full years of Chris Sale #Ouch

Remember when the Jays drafted Deck McGuire two spots before Chris Sale? They could've had Sale, Sanchez and Syndergaard in the same draft.
