Chris Sale (plus $17mil) traded to Atlanta for Vaughn Grissom

Craig Breslow, you have my sword. Thank you for ridding us of one of my least favorite personalities to ever don the uniform.
Loved watching Sale pitch through 2018. But that was 5 years ago. Will not blame Sale for the contract or the various injuries he incurred since then, and will not be upset if he has a good season for the Braves. Good for Breslow for getting a prospect in return.
Sweet. I don’t have to read another insane post about someone predicting Sale would be a contributor to the roster and pitch for more than 125 innings.
That money was already available. The question is how much does this free up as $$$ is going to Atlanta as part of the deal.
AND we dont have to read another wire story about how the piss baby hurt himself again throwing a tantrum cuz he pitched bad.
WIN WIN
Wow, all right. I admit I am a little sad at the final closing of the door for any Chris Sale Red Sox redemption arc. But, excited to see what Vaughn Grissom can do for us.
Feels like the dominoes are starting to fall, too.

Sale was one of my favorites... I'm shocked to see him go.
You've got to give Breslow credit for being bold, and the Sox FO credit for there being no leaks.

Red Sox used 44 players in 2018. Rafael Devers is now the only one still in the organization.

He has a full NTC so that would be weird.
I'm sure he can find another way to break his hand.

Don't have the exact money going to Atlanta in the deal but source says Red Sox will cover a "good amount" of his $27.5M salary for 2024.

This is very good and please remind me that it is very good even if Sale gets in the way back machine this year.
Feels like we must be getting another starter now. Can't believe just swapping out Sale for Giolito in the rotation is the plan.
Holy fucking shit
Did not expect this
this better mean we sign another SP
and 17m to Braves! Wow

Just glanced at the LAD roster and I think they only have 3 left from 18 (may have missed a few).
Amen. Dispatching Chris Sale immediately makes this team easier to root for, regardless of the return.
There are good odds he'll have a miraculous bounceback year in his contract year with the Braves, but I am 100% comfortable with that risk.
Wow, can't complain about this too much
Thanks for the good pitching when it happened. Best of luck in Atlanta

Seems like a leap. There are other avenues to replacing Sale's 31 starts over the last 4 seasons.
