Chris Sale’s dominance with the Atlanta Braves has become the most bittersweet story of the last two years for fans of the Boston Red Sox. Sale was traded from the Red Sox to the Braves in December of 2023 for infielder Vaughn Grissom, who is stuck in Triple-A with no path to playing time in Boston. Then, Sale went on to win his first career Cy Young Award in 2024 after five straight injury-plagued seasons with the Red Sox.
