MLB en bref : Liam Hendriks s’en va à Chicago | 10 % des Rangers à vendre

Spoke with White Sox closer Liam Hendriks, who is headed to Chicago this week following a AAA rehab less than six months after he was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. Plan is for him to throw live BP on Friday and, should it go well, he'll pitch in the big leagues soon thereafter.

Majority owners Bob Simpson and Ray Davis bought the Texas Rangers in 2010 for $593 million.

Now, Simpson’s ex-wife, Janice, is putting her 10% stake in the team up for sale — in a move that reportedly values the MLB club at $3 billion.

Rafael Devers and Xander Bogaerts aren't teammates anymore but they still talk daily. They'll likely get dinner Thursday and Devers, who signed a $313.5 million contract in January, still expects Bogaerts to pick up the tab. https://t.co/qi8w4fpqJa
