Red Sox trade seven-time All-Star pitcher Chris Sale to Braves
View Date:2024-12-23 20:50:04
The Atlanta Braves acquired pitcher Chris Sale in a trade with the Boston Red Sox, both teams announced on Saturday.
The Red Sox will receive infield prospect Vaughn Grissom and cash considerations.
Sale, a seven-time All-Star, had to waive his no-trade clause to join the Braves and is scheduled to be paid $27.5 million next season. He has a club option for $20 million for the 2025 season, part of a five-year, $145 million extension he signed at the beginning of the 2019 campaign.
The 34-year-old Sale went 6-5 with a 4.30 ERA, with 125 strikeouts last year with the Red Sox, where he spent the last six seasons.
Sale spent his first seven MLB seasons with the Chicago White Sox and led the American League in strikeouts twice.

The Braves, who have won the National League East each of the last six seasons, continue to add to their strong pitching rotation, which already has Charlie Morton, Max Fried, and Spencer Strider, who finished fourth in the NL Cy Young Award balloting.
Sale is the second big-name pitcher to get traded this offseason. The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired standout starter Tyler Glasnow from Tampa Bay Rays earlier this month.
